In a symphony of innovation and elegance, Finnair has unveiled its €200 million cabin refresh across its long-haul fleet of A350 and A330 aircraft. This transformative investment program has breathed new life into the skies, enhancing the travel experience for passengers across all classes.
The Harmonized Interiors
Business Class: A Revolution in Comfort
Finnair’s new business class seat, created in collaboration with Collins Aerospace, is a revelation. Designed for both short-haul and long-haul flights, it envelops travellers in comfort and sophistication. Business Traveller’s reviews echo this sentiment—whether on an A330 between London and Helsinki or an A350 bound for Singapore, the verdict is unanimous: excellence.
Premium Economy: A New Frontier
The airline’s first premium economy cabin is a game-changer. The ‘Vector Premium seat, crafted by HAECO Cabin Solutions (now part of ZIM Aircraft Seating), offers a sweet spot between economy and business. It’s a sanctuary for discerning travellers seeking more space, enhanced amenities, and a touch of luxury.
Economy Class: A Refreshed Journey
Finnair’s commitment to consistency extends to economy class. New seats grace the A330s, while the in-service A350s receive updated seat covers and an improved in-flight entertainment system. The entire cabin breathes new life, inviting passengers to embark on their journey with renewed comfort.
Beyond the Skies: What Lies Ahead
Embraer Fleet Overhaul
Finnair’s short-haul Embraer fleet is next in line for transformation. These aircraft will undergo a metamorphosis in the coming months, aligning with the airline’s commitment to elevate every passenger’s experience.
A Larger Lounge Beckons
Helsinki Airport’s Schengen area will soon host a new, larger lounge. Business class customers and Finnair Plus tier members will find solace here, savouring moments of tranquillity before their flights. And for a fee, all Finnair customers can access this oasis of comfort.
Customer Satisfaction Takes Flight
Ole Orvér, Finnair’s chief commercial officer, sums it up: “Our award-winning long-haul cabin has exceeded expectations. Customer feedback on the revolutionary business class seat and the brand-new premium economy cabin has been excellent. We’re proud to offer this renewed cabin experience across all our long-haul destinations.”
As Finnair’s fleet soars into the future, passengers can expect consistency, reliability, and a touch of Nordic magic. The skies have never been more inviting.
