== History ==
=== Founding ===
In 1923, consul Bruno Lucander founded Finnair as '''Aero O/Y''' (''Aero Ltd''). The company code, "AY", stands for Aero [[Osakeyhtiö|Osake-yhtiö]] ("yhtiö" means "company" in Finnish). Lucander had previously run the Finnish operations of the Estonian airline '''Aeronaut'''. In mid 1923, he concluded an agreement with [[Junkers]] Flugzeugwerke AG to provide aircraft and technical support in exchange for a 50% ownership in the new airline. The charter establishing the company was signed in [[Helsinki]] on 12 September 1923, and the company was entered into the trade register on 11 December 1923. The first flight was on 20 March 1924, from Helsinki to [[Tallinn]], [[Estonia]], on a [[Junkers F.13]] aircraft equipped with floats. The [[seaplane]] service ended in 1936 following the construction of the first [[Airport|aerodromes]] in Finland.<ref name=WAD>{{Cite web|url=https://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1983/1983%20-%200592.html|title=World Airline Directory|work=Flight International|date=2 April 1983|page=904|access-date=2 November 2019}}</ref>

=== World War II ===
Air raids on Helsinki and other Finnish cities made [[World War II]] a difficult period for the airline. Half of the fleet was requisitioned by the [[Finnish Air Force]] and it was estimated that, during the [[Winter War]] in 1939 and 1940, half of the airline's passengers from other Finnish cities were children being evacuated to [[Sweden]].

=== Immediate postwar period ===
The Finnish government wanted longer routes, so it acquired a majority stake in the company in 1946 and re-established services to Europe in November 1947, initially using the [[Douglas DC-3]]. In 1953, the airline began branding itself as Finnair. The [[Convair 440]] twin-engined pressurised airliner was acquired from January 1953, and these faster aircraft were operated on the company's longer routes as far as [[London Heathrow Airport|London]].

=== Jet Age (1960s and 1970s) ===
[[File:Finnair Caravelle Basle Airport - April 1976.jpg|thumb|Finnair [[Sud Aviation Caravelle|Sud SE-210 Caravelle 10B3 Super B]] in 1976]]

In 1961, Finnair joined the jet age by adding [[Rolls-Royce Avon]]-engined [[Sud Aviation Caravelle|Caravelle]]s to its fleet. These were later exchanged with the manufacturer for [[Pratt & Whitney JT8D]]-engined Super Caravelles. In 1962, Finnair acquired a 27% controlling interest in a private Finnish airline, [[Karair|Kar-Air]]. Finnair Oy became the company's official name on 25 June 1968. In 1969, it took possession of its first [[United States|U.S. made]] jet, a [[Douglas DC-8]]. The first transatlantic service to [[New York City|New York]] was inaugurated on 15 May 1969.{{Citation needed|date=December 2009}} In the 1960s, Finnair's head office was in Helsinki.<ref>"World Airline Directory." ''[[Flight International]]''. 2 April 1964. [http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1964/1964%20-%200902.html?search=%22British%20Eagle%22%20%22head%20office%22 511].</ref>

[[File:Gunnar-Korhonen-1966.jpg|thumb|left|[[Gunnar Korhonen]], CEO of Finnair from 1960 to 1987]]

Finnair received its first wide-body aircraft in 1975, two [[DC-10|DC-10-30]] planes. The first of these arrived on 4 February 1975 and entered service on 14 February 1975, flying between Helsinki and [[New York City|New York]], later between Helsinki and [[Las Palmas]].

Finnair created '''Finnaviation''' was established in 1979. It was formed from the reorganisation of Wihuri OY '''Finnwings''' (which had started services in 1950 as '''Lentohuolto OY''') and its merging with '''Nordair OY'''. Scheduled domestic services began in October 1979. In the early 1980s, Finnair held a 60% shareholding.<ref name=WA>{{cite book|last=Endres|first=Gunter G|title=World Airline Fleets 1983|date=1982|publisher=The Aviation Data Centre|location=Feltham|isbn=0946141029|page=383}}</ref> Finnaviation was eventually completely merged into Finnair.<ref name="dn">"Finnair tvingas hårdbanta", [[Dagens Nyheter]] 1993-03-03.</ref><ref name="Home {{!}} Finnair">{{Cite web |title=Home {{!}} Finnair |url=https://company.finnair.com/en |access-date=2023-01-31 |website=company.finnair.com}}</ref>

=== Expansion (1980s) ===
[[File:CV-440 OH-LRD Finnair F172-2.jpg|thumb|Finnair [[Convair 440]] in 1980]]

In 1981, Finnair opened routes to [[Seattle]] and [[Los Angeles]]. Finnair became the first operator to fly non-stop from [[Western Europe]] to [[Japan]], operating Helsinki–[[Tokyo]] flights with a modified [[McDonnell Douglas DC-10|McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30ER]] in April 1983.<ref name=WAD/> Until then, flights had to go via [[Moscow]] ([[Aeroflot]], [[Scandinavian Airlines|SAS]], [[British Airways|BA]]) or [[Anchorage, Alaska|Anchorage]] (most carriers)<ref>[http://www.pprune.org/archive/index.php/t-247940.html Flying over not so friendly countries [Archive&#93; – PPRuNe Forums]. Pprune.org (1967-11-04). Retrieved on 2010-11-03.</ref> due to [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] [[airspace]] restrictions, but Finnair circumvented these by flying directly north from Helsinki, over the [[North Pole]] and back south through the [[Bering Strait]], avoiding Soviet airspace.<ref>[http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1986/1986%20-%202900.html 1986 | 2900 | Flight Archive]. Flightglobal.com (1986-10-25). Retrieved on 2010-11-03.</ref> However, Finnair did not have to make a roundabout because of the Soviet regulation on this route, but the Japanese authorities demanded it (as [[Japan Airlines|JAL]] requested strongly).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1986/1986%20-%202900.html|title=1986 {{!}} 2900 {{!}} Flight Archive|website=www.flightglobal.com|access-date=2017-08-13}}</ref> The aircraft was fitted with extra fuel tanks, taking 13 hours for the trip.<ref name=WAD/> The routes through Soviet airspace and with a stopover in Moscow also took 13 hours, but flights with a stopover in Anchorage took up to 16 hours, giving Finnair a competitive edge. In the spring of 1986, Soviet regulators finally cleared the way for Air France and Japan Airlines to fly nonstop Paris-Tokyo services over Soviet airspace, putting Finnair at a disadvantage.<ref>[http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1986/1986%20-%200806.html 1986 | 0806 | Flight Archive].

Finnair launched a Helsinki-[[Beijing]] route in 1988, making Finnair the first Western European carrier to fly non-stop between [[Europe]] and [[China]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.finncham.com.hk/membership/member-directory/13803/finnair|title=Finnair|website=Finnish Chamber of Commerce|language=en-US|access-date=2019-05-23}}{{Dead link|date=August 2025 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> In 1989, Finnair became the launch customer for the [[McDonnell Douglas MD-11]], the first of which was delivered on 7 December 1990.

In 1997, the subsidiaries '''Kar-Air''' and '''Finnaviation''' became wholly owned by Finnair and were integrated into the mainline operations. On 25 September 1997, the company's official name was changed to Finnair [[Oyj]].

In 1999, Finnair joined the [[Oneworld]] airline alliance. In 2001, Finnair reused the name "Aero" when establishing [[Aero Airlines]], a subsidiary airline based in [[Tallinn]], [[Estonia]].

In 2003, Finnair acquired ownership of the [[Sweden|Swedish]] [[Low-cost carrier|low-cost airline]], [[FlyNordic]], which operated mainly within [[Scandinavia]]. In 2007, Finnair sold all its shares in FlyNordic to [[Norwegian Air Shuttle]]. As part of the transaction, Finnair acquired 4.8% of the latter company, becoming its third largest shareholder. Finnair later sold their shares in 2013.<ref>{{cite web|author= Victoria Moores |url=https://aviationweek.com/air-transport/airlines-lessors/finnair-sells-its-stake-norwegian-air-shuttle-eu53-million |title=Finnair sells its stake in Norwegian Air Shuttle for â'Ź53 million &#124; Data & Financials content from |publisher=ATWOnline |date=2013-04-23 |access-date=2017-02-18}}</ref>

====Flight attendant uniforms====
The current uniform was designed by Ritva-Liisa Pohjalainen and launched in December 2011.<ref name="flag" /> Finnair has codes to indicate the rank of crew members: one [[Stripe (pattern)|stripe]] in the [[sleeve]] (or [[epaulette]]s in the case of male crew wearing [[Waistcoat|vests]]) for normal [[Flight attendant|Cabin Crew]], two stripes for Senior Cabin Crew (only for outsourced [[Spain|Spanish]] crew) acting as a [[Purser#Aircraft|Purser]], and three stripes for a Purser/Chief Purser. Additionally, some female Pursers have a white vertical stripe on their dresses or [[blouse]]s indicating their years of service. Finnair requires its cabin crew to wear [[glove]]s during take-off and landing for safety reasons. Finnair's previous cabin crew uniform was named the fifth most stylish uniform by the French magazine ''Bon Voyage''.<ref>{{in lang|fi}} [http://www.finnair.com/finnaircom/wps/portal/finnair/kcxml/04_Sj9SPykssy0xPLMnMz0vM0Y_QjzKLD403MfEDSZnFe8c7e-pHgmgLd1eIkEu8szeakHe8SyhEyNUALuKDqSgYIuRlDBEJhSpCsi8Uah-SkGu8WwiGKoh9oSD7fD3yc1P1g_S99QP0C3JDoSCi3NFRUREA68Z3OA!!/delta/base64xml/L3dJdyEvd0ZNQUFzQUMvNElVRS82X1VfNDRP Miehistö] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110609120916/http://www.finnair.com/finnaircom/wps/portal/finnair/kcxml/04_Sj9SPykssy0xPLMnMz0vM0Y_QjzKLD403MfEDSZnFe8c7e-pHgmgLd1eIkEu8szeakHe8SyhEyNUALuKDqSgYIuRlDBEJhSpCsi8Uah-SkGu8WwiGKoh9oSD7fD3yc1P1g_S99QP0C3JDoSCi3NFRUREA68Z3OA!!/delta/base64xml/L3dJdyEvd0ZNQUFzQUMvNElVRS82X1VfNDRP |date=2011-06-09 }}.

=== Partnerships ===
Finnair has several partnerships with following companies and airlines including [[Alaska Airlines]], [[American Airlines]], [[British Airways]], [[Deutsche Bahn|Deutsche Bahn (DB)]], Chinese [[JD.com]], [[Japan Airlines]] and [[Marimekko]].

== Destinations ==
{{Main|List of Finnair destinations}}
Finnair flies from its Helsinki hub to over 80 destinations in over 35 countries in [[Asia]], [[Europe]] and [[North America]]. Finnair also serves six destinations in the United States. Previously, the airline has served [[Africa]] and [[South America]], including countries such as [[Egypt]], [[Colombia]] and [[Brazil]], but primarily on a leisure basis. Finnair has over 10 domestic destinations. Domestic flights are operated in co-operation with the airline's subsidiary [[Nordic Regional Airlines]]. 

In 2021, Finnair opened five routes from [[Stockholm Arlanda Airport|Stockholm–Arlanda]] to [[Suvarnabhumi Airport|Bangkok–Suvarnabhumi]] and [[Phuket International Airport|Phuket]] in [[Thailand]], as well as [[John F. Kennedy International Airport|New York–JFK]], [[Miami International Airport|Miami]] and [[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles]] in the [[United States]]. Those routes have been discontinued.

On 28 February 2022, Russia closed its airspace as a countermeasure to EU airspace closure. This meant many changes to Finnair's Asian services, as most of Finnair's flights between Europe and Asia had used the shortest, fastest, and most environmentally sound route over Russia.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-03-06 |title=Avoiding Russian airspace: From a shortcut to a detour |url=https://www.finnair.com/fi-en/bluewings/world-of-finnair/avoiding-russian-airspace--from-a-shortcut-to-a-detour-2553806 |access-date=2023-02-01 |website=Finnair |language=en}}</ref> In response, on 9 March 2022, flight AY073 departed from Helsinki to Tokyo Narita via the North Pole. Back in 1983, Finnair was the first airline to fly non-stop from Europe to Japan by flying over the North Pole – so operating in the polar region is not new to Finnair.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-03-17 |title=Flying over the North Pole: Well-planned is half done |url=https://www.finnair.com/fi-en/bluewings/world-of-finnair/flying-over-the-north-pole--well-planned-is-half-done--2557990 |access-date=2023-02-01 |website=Finnair |language=en}}</ref>

Finnair announced a new route to [[Dallas Fort Worth International Airport|Dallas/Fort Worth]] in 2022. Finnair also reintroduced flights to [[Seattle–Tacoma International Airport|Seattle/Tacoma]] in 2022.

=== Aircraft types ===

==== Narrow-body aircraft ====

Finnair received its first [[narrow-body aircraft]] manufactured by [[Airbus]], the [[Airbus A321]], on 28 January 1999. Now, the airline operates a fleet of up to 15 A321s. The first [[Airbus A319]] aircraft was delivered to Finnair on 20 September 1999. Since then, Finnair has received 11 A319s, but three of them are now retired. Finnair utilises Airbus A319, [[Airbus A320 family|A320]], and A321 aircraft on domestic and European flights. The [[Airbus A321-231]] aircraft, which are equipped with [[Sharklets]], are also used on some thinner long-haul flights such as to [[Dubai]]. [[ATR-72-500|ATR 72-500]] and [[Embraer E190]] are operated by [[Nordic Regional Airlines]] and are also used on domestic and European flights.

==== Airbus A330 ====

Finnair received its first batch of [[Airbus A330-300]]s on 27 March 2009.<ref name="first A330">[http://www.airbus.com/newsroom/press-releases/en/2009/03/finnair-receives-first-a330.html Finnair receives first A330] ''airbus.com'' 27 March 2009. Retrieved 20 January 2018.</ref> Now the airline has eight of them in its fleet. As of July 2023, the airline utilises the A330 on [[intercontinental flight]]s from Helsinki to [[Indira Gandhi International Airport|Delhi]], [[Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport|Mumbai]], [[John F. Kennedy International Airport|New York]], [[O'Hare International Airport|Chicago]], [[Seattle–Tacoma International Airport|Seattle]] and [[Hamad International Airport|Doha]]. The A330s are powered by [[General Electric CF6]]-80E1 engines.<ref name="first A330"/> The aircraft are also being used on European services to [[Brussels Airport|Brussels]] and [[Amsterdam Airport Schiphol|Amsterdam]].

==== Airbus A350 ====
On 8 March 2007, Finnair firmed up its orders for 11 [[Airbus A350]] aircraft with 8 options. On 3 December 2014, it was announced that Finnair had firmed up the contract for eight additional Airbus A350 aircraft deliveries starting in 2018.<ref name=AW/> On 13 August 2014, Finnair announced plans to initially deploy its A350 aircraft on services to Bangkok, Beijing and Shanghai from 2015, with A350 services to Hong Kong and Singapore to be added in 2016. As of April 2019, Finnair operates the Airbus A350 to [[Suvarnabhumi Airport|Bangkok]], [[Beijing Capital International Airport|Beijing]], [[Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport|Guangzhou]], [[Hong Kong International Airport|Hong Kong]], [[Ho Chi Minh City]], [[Krabi International Airport|Krabi]], [[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles]], [[Chubu Centrair International Airport|Nagoya]], [[Kansai International Airport|Osaka]], [[Phuket International Airport|Phuket]], [[Licenciado Gustavo Díaz Ordaz International Airport|Puerto Vallarta]], [[Incheon International Airport|Seoul]], [[Shanghai Pudong International Airport|Shanghai]], [[Singapore Changi Airport|Singapore]] and [[Narita International Airport|Tokyo]]. Finnair also operated A350 aircraft on several flights to [[New York City|New York]] in January 2016 and became the first European airline to operate the A350 to the United States.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Drum|first=Bruce|date=2015-09-21|title=Finnair to take delivery of its first Airbus A350-900 on October 7, will fly to Shanghai starting on November 21|url=https://worldairlinenews.com/2015/09/21/finnair-to-take-delivery-of-its-first-airbus-a350-900-on-october-7-will-fly-to-shanghai-starting-on-november-21/|access-date=2021-10-24|website=World Airline News|language=en}}</ref> Finnair sometimes uses the A350 on the morning AY1331 flight from Helsinki to [[Heathrow Airport|London–Heathrow]] to carry extra freight as well. Also, AY121/122 operating to New Delhi is also being served by the A350 as of 1 Nov 2022. As of autumn 2024, Finnair began operating the A350 daily to Gran Canaria as AY1721. Seldomly, it also operates to Amsterdam, Munich and Brussels.

Finnair took delivery of its first A350 aircraft on 7 October 2015, becoming the third airline to operate the aircraft after [[Qatar Airways]] and [[Vietnam Airlines]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Finnair is taking a bold but calculated risk|url=https://www.helsinkitimes.fi/business/13562-finnair-is-taking-a-bold-but-calculated-risk.html|access-date=2021-10-24|website=www.helsinkitimes.fi|date=7 October 2015 |language=en-gb}}</ref> According to the current delivery schedule, it will receive two A350 aircraft per year in 2019, 2020, and 2021, and one in 2022. Altogether, Finnair had 19 A350 aircraft in 2022.

===Fleet development===
====Upcoming narrow-body fleet renewal====
Due to an aging narrow-body fleet, Finnair plans to retire the [[Airbus A320|Airbus A320 family]] and replace them with new generation aircraft. The airline estimates to invest up to €4 billion in fleet renewal between 2020 and 2025. Revealed at its Capital Markets Day on November 12, 2019, Finnair plans to grow the size of its fleet from the current 83 (as of November 2019) to approximately 100 by 2025, of which 70% is planned to be [[narrow-body aircraft]] and 30% [[wide-body aircraft]]. One-third of the total investment sum would be used for growth, while two-thirds would be to replace the current fleet.<ref name="FinnairNarrowBody">{{cite web|title=FINNAIR TO ORDER NEW AIRCRAFT & LAUNCH PREMIUM ECONOMY|date=12 November 2019|url=https://aviationanalyst.co.uk/2019/11/12/finnair-to-order-new-aircraft-launch-premium-economy/|access-date=12 November 2019}}</ref> According to Bloomberg, Finnair will replace the old aircraft with either [[Airbus A320neo family]] or [[Boeing 737 MAX]] new generation aircraft.<ref>{{cite news|title=Airbus to Swap Finnair's Zodiac Seats Amid A350 Quality Concerns|newspaper=Bloomberg.com|date=5 June 2017|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-06-05/airbus-to-refit-zodiac-luxury-seats-on-finnair-s-a350-jetliners|access-date=5 June 2017}}</ref> The carrier has also revealed that it is looking for suitable narrow-body aircraft for [[Long haul|long-haul]] use.<ref>{{cite web|title=Finnair etsii myös pidemmille matkoille sopivaa kapearunkokonetta|date=3 June 2019|url=https://yle.fi/uutiset/3-10812940|access-date=3 June 2019}}</ref>

On 18 December 2015, Finnair decided to improve the space efficiency of its current Airbus narrow-body fleet due to a growing need for feeder traffic capacity. The value of the investment is approximately EUR 40 million, and it includes 22 narrow-body Airbus aircraft in Finnair's fleet. The cabin layout change excludes five A321 aircraft, which are already configured according to the plan, having 209 seats. The cabin reconfiguration was estimated to take two weeks per aircraft during 2017. The reconfiguration adds 6 to 13 seats depending on the aircraft type, increasing the passenger capacity of Finnair's Airbus narrow-body fleet as measured by available seat kilometers by close to 4 percent.<ref>[http://news.cision.com/finnair/r/finnair-adds-seating-capacity-to-its-feeder-fleet,c9887235 Finnair adds seating capacity to its feeder fleet – ''news.cision.com'']</ref> Finnair also planned to increase its narrow-body fleet. As a first step, Finnair leased eight Airbus A321 narrow-body aircraft from [[BOC Aviation]].

Finnair has occasionally suffered from aircraft shortages and therefore has resorted to [[Aircraft lease|leased]] and [[Wet leased|wet-leased]] aircraft. For instance, in March 2016, Finnair announced it would lease two Airbus A321 aircraft from [[Air Berlin]] for Finnair's European operations. These two aircraft were delivered in late April 2016 to Finnair. The airline used these A321s on flights from [[Helsinki]] to [[Amsterdam]], [[Berlin]], [[Copenhagen]], [[Dubrovnik]], [[Düsseldorf]], [[Ljubljana]], [[Paris]], [[Split, Croatia|Split]], [[Vienna]], and [[Zürich]].<ref>[http://www.lentoposti.fi/uutiset/airberlinin_a321_koneet_saapuivat_lentamaan_finnairin_euroopan_lentoja Finnair leases two Air Berlin A321s for one year – ''Lentoposti.fi'' (Finnish)]</ref> On 15 December 2016, Finnair announced it would lease two [[Airbus A321]]s from CDB Aviation Lease Finance. The first aircraft was scheduled for delivery to Finnair for the 2017-2018 winter season and the second for the 2018 summer season. Seven of the ordered aircraft were delivered in 2017.<ref name="finnairgroup1">[http://www.finnairgroup.com/mediaen/mediaen_7.html?Id=xml_2097311.html Finnair continues the implementation of its growth strategy and leases two further A321 aircraft] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160624031023/http://www.finnairgroup.com/mediaen/mediaen_7.html?Id=xml_2097311.html |date=2016-06-24 }} Retrieved on 28 April 2016</ref>

The Finnair-branded short-haul network also includes 24 regional aircraft operated by Nordic Regional Airlines (12 ATR 72 and 12 E-190).

====Recent wide-body fleet renewal====
Finnair announced the order for 11 [[Airbus A350 XWB]] aircraft and 8 options on 8 March 2007. Finnair planned to retire older [[Airbus A340]] aircraft by the end of 2017 and replace them with brand new A350 aircraft. As of 1 February 2017, all Airbus A340 aircraft are withdrawn from the fleet. The very last A340 (OH-LQE) operated its last flight from Tokyo to Helsinki on 1 February 2017. Finnair firmed up orders for eight additional A350 aircraft on 3 December 2014. The first A350 was delivered to Finnair in October 2015, and the airline became the first European operator of the [[Airbus A350]].

As of November 2019, Finnair had 14 A350-900s, with a further 5 to be delivered between 2020 and 2022. The Finnish flag carrier also has considered switching some of the orders for the [[Airbus A350-900]] to the [[Airbus A350-1000]] aircraft but decided to keep the orders for only the A350-900. At the beginning of 2017, Finnair revealed plans to add more seats to some of the Airbus A350 aircraft in order to increase capacity by up to 13%. The new seat configuration has 32 seats in [[Business class|Business Class]], 42 seats in Economy Comfort Class, and 262 in [[Economy class|Economy Class]], a total of 336 seats. This second seat configuration was initially planned to be used on routes with less business class demand such as Bangkok, Beijing, and Seoul, as well as on routes to leisure destinations but they have also been utilised on other busy routes such as [[Shanghai]], [[Osaka]], and [[Tokyo]].<ref name="routesonline1">[http://www.routesonline.com/news/38/airlineroute/271471/finnair-outlines-high-density-a350-900-operational-routes/?highlight=HELSINKI Finnair outlines High-Density A350-900 operational routes] routesonline.com 18 February 2017</ref>

Finnair has modified its previous fleet plan to retire two of [[Airbus A330]] aircraft, which was established in 2014. The 2016 fleet plan now involves keeping its A330 fleet as its A350s are delivered, rather than withdrawing two of them in 2017, and shall retire those aircraft sometime in the 2020s at the earliest. The airline's plan to retire two A330s was not the only change that was planned. Under the previous plan, the long-haul fleet was to grow by one per year, from 15 in 2015 to 20 in 2020. Under the 2016 plan, it was planned to grow to 22 in 2020, and to 26 in 2023. However, should market conditions be weaker than expected, Finnair has the flexibility to return the wide-body fleet to a total of 15 aircraft in 2019 and to maintain it at this level through to 2023. Some of the new A350 aircraft will increase the number of aircraft operated by Finnair.

Business class is offered on the entire Airbus fleet. On long-haul aircraft, the seats are equipped with personal [[in-flight entertainment]]. Zodiac Cirrus III seats are fitted in business class on all [[wide-body aircraft]]. Each seat has direct aisle access and reclines to a 78-inch full flat bed. In February 2022, Finnair unveiled new long-haul business class seats, alongside the debut of a premium economy cabin. The seats are based on the [[Collins Aerospace]]'s Aerospace AirLounge. The seats are enclosed in a shell with no recline capabilities. According to the airline, this allows passengers to choose a wide variety of sitting and sleeping positions.{{citation needed|date=May 2024}}

== Incidents and accidents ==
{{Main|List of accidents of Aero O/Y}}

*On 16 November 1927, a [[Junkers F.13]] disappeared en route from [[Tallinn]] to [[Helsinki]]. The [[Aircraft pilot|pilot]] and his two [[passenger]]s were never found.
*On 10 November 1937, a [[Junkers Ju 52]] en route from [[Turku]] to [[Stockholm]] suffered the detachment of the nose-engine whilst over the [[sea]]. The pilots managed to successfully [[Landing|land]] the aircraft with no fatalities. A broken [[propeller blade]] resulted in a severe imbalance that tore the engine off.
*On 14 June 1940, a Ju 52 aircraft named [[Kaleva (airplane)|Kaleva]] operating as Flight 1631 was shot down by the [[Soviet Air Forces|Soviet Air Force]] over the [[Gulf of Finland]], apparently as a prelude to the [[Occupation of the Baltic states|Occupation of Estonia]]. All nine people on board died.
*On 7 June 1941, a Ju 52 aircraft equipped with [[Float (nautical)|floats]] was forced to make an [[emergency landing]] after losing power on all three engines due to fuel impurity. Although the aircraft was recovered and returned to service, the two occupants of the aircraft [[Drowning|drowned]] while attempting to swim to safety.
*On 31 October 1945, a Ju 52 suffered a [[Controlled flight into terrain|CFIT]] on approach to [[Hyvinkää]]. [[Radio signal]]s were distorted by [[High tension wire|high-tension wires]] and the [[Aircraft pilot|pilots]] let the plane descend too low. All 14 people on board survived, but the aircraft was [[written off]].
*On 3 January 1961, [[Aero Flight 311|Flight 311]] from [[Kronoby]] to [[Vaasa]] flown by a [[Douglas DC-3]] stalled on final approach and [[Aircraft crash|crashed]], killing all 25 people on board. The two pilots were both [[Alcohol intoxication|intoxicated]] by [[alcohol (drug)|alcohol]] and [[sleep deprived]]. This remains Finland's worst aviation accident.
*On 8 November 1963, [[Aero Flight 217|Flight 217]] from [[Helsinki]] to [[Mariehamn]] via [[Turku]] flown by a [[Douglas DC-3|DC-3]] crashed into terrain on final approach to Mariehamn. The sole [[flight attendant]] and two [[passenger]]s were the only survivors of the crash. The cause was believed to have been poor visibility and a malfunctioning [[altimeter]] that tricked the pilots into believing they were higher than they really were. 20 passengers and two crew were killed. To date, this is Finnair's last fatal accident.
*On 30 September 1978, [[Finnair Flight 405|Flight 405]] from [[Oulu]] to Helsinki flown by [[Sud Aviation Caravelle]] was [[Aircraft hijacking|hijacked]] by Aarno Lamminparras armed with a [[pistol]] ([[Finland]] did not perform security checks on [[domestic flight]]s), who held the 48 other passengers and crew [[hostage]]. The plane continued to Helsinki, where 34 of the 44 passengers were released before returning to [[Oulu]] where the hijacker received a large [[ransom]] from Finnair. The plane then returned to Helsinki for another ransom from a Finnish newspaper before flying to [[Amsterdam]] and then back to Helsinki before returning to Oulu. The [[Aircraft hijacking|hijacker]] released the last hostages and departed the plane before being [[arrest]]ed on October 1 at his home.
*On 23 December 1987, [[Finnair Flight 915|Flight 915]] from [[Tokyo]] to Helsinki was allegedly shot at by a [[missile]] whilst over [[Svalbard]]. The missile allegedly exploded in the air before striking the [[McDonnell Douglas DC-10|DC-10]]. The events were not revealed until 2014.<ref name=YLEEnglish>{{cite web
