Finnair Plc               Stock Exchange Release                   10 November 2017 at 9:00 am

Finnair raises its guidance for its 2017 comparable operating result as passenger and cargo traffic sales have developed better than forecasted. Finnair also specifies its revenue forecast for 2017.

New guidance

Finnair estimates that in 2017 its capacity will grow approximately 9 per cent. Full-year revenue is expected to grow slightly faster than capacity.

Finnair expects its comparable operating result for 2017 to exceed 155 million euro (2016: 55 million euro). 

Previous guidance (issued on 8 September, repeated on 25 October 2017)

Finnair estimates that in 2017 its capacity will grow approximately 9 per cent, weighted strongly towards the second half of the year. Full-year revenue is expected to grow approximately in line with capacity.

Finnair expects its comparable operating result for 2017 to be in the range of 135-155 million euro (2016: 55 million euro), if current fuel prices and exchange rates prevail and assuming no material changes in business environment.
