Feb 21, 2023 (newstodate): British Airways has obviously been satisfied with experience from leasing aircraft capacity from Finnair..
BA has thus signed a new long-term wet-lease contract with Finnair for four Finnair Airbus A320 aircraft to operate in the period starting March 2023 and running till March 2024.
In summer 2020, four Finnair's Airbus A321 were wet-leased to British Airways for a 4-months period; two aircraft were delivered on May 3, and the remaining two joined by June 2022.
British Airways' need for additional aircraft capacity may be due to delayed deliveries of new aircraft on order, but also spurred by the 43 slots at London Heathrow Airport acquired from the demise of Flybe.
