Dec 12, 2018 (newstodate): Finnair's 12th Airbus A350 aircraft is now on the runway awaiting the start of its delivery flight to Helsinki.
The aircraft is flagged "ready for delivery" after completing its series of test flights that started with the first lift-off on November 19, 2018.
Earlier this year, Finnair rearranged the delivery scheme, with one aircraft delivery moved forward from 2023 to 2019, while another will be delivered in 2020 rather than 2022 as earlier planned.
Finnair will thus receive two Airbus A350 aircraft in 2019, two in 2020, two in 2021, and the last of the 19 aircraft ordered in 2022.
Finnair received its first Airbus A350 aircraft from Airbus on October 7, 2015, as the first European operator of this aircraft type.
