Mar 13, 2017 (newstodate): Now, at long last, it's in the air: the 8th Airbus A350 in Finnair's color has performed its first test flight on March 11, 2017.
According to the schedule, the carrier will thus take delivery of the aircraft before the end of this month.
Otherwise completed, Finnair A350 #9 is being re-worked for changed configuration with fewer business class and more economy class seats, and aircraft #10 is now on the aircraft parking stand being readied for start of the outdoor ground tests.
Finally, the 11th and last A350 to be delivered to Finnair in 2017 is on the production line undergoing fuselage join work.
Finnair has placed orders for a total of 19 new A350-900 and received its first Airbus A350 aircraft from Airbus on October 7, 2015.
