Modern, eco-efficient European fleet • The best thing an airline can do for the environment is to fly a modern fleet • Increased flexibility, improved load factors, lower costs and less emissions • Average age of Finnair’s European fleet is four years. • European fleet consists of Airbus A320 and Embraer 170/190 family aircraft

  13. New wide-bodied aircraft enable future growth in intercontinental traffic • In 2007-14 a fleet of maximum 15 Airbus A330/A340 aircraft • Boeing MD-11 fleet will be phased out by March 2010 • In 2014-16 a fleet of maximum 15 new technology Airbus A350XWB aircraft

Airlines going bust • Growth of demand declining • Passenger load factors down • Soaring fuel prices • More airlines facing uphill struggle to survive • Big airlines in a rush to go small – ”less is more” • Old inefficient aircraft grounded • Bankruptcies and mergers, more to come • Subsidies once again distort competition
