Finnair strengthens its fleet with Embraer and ATR aircraft

Finnair has signed Letters of Intent for the lease of two Embraer E190-E1 aircraft and two ATR-72-600 aircraft. The aircraft will join the fleet of Finnair’s partner Norra by summer and early autumn 2026. Norra operates regional flights for Finnair with twelve Embraer E190-E1 and twelve ATR-72-500 aircraft, and Finnair intends to increase the number of jets operated by Norra to eighteen.  

"An extensive regional network plays an important role as we seek to grow our network from our key markets," says Christine Rovelli, Chief Revenue Officer, Finnair. "These aircraft will further strengthen our schedule reliability and add to the flexibility of our fleet deployment.” 

In the summer season 2026, Finnair will fly to more than 90 European destinations, including 12 new destinations.
