36 Finnair Group will consist of new-generation Airbus A350 aircraft, of which Finnair has ordered 11. The company has options for four more of this aircraft. For its leisure flights, Finnair uses the most popular type of aircraft in this traffic segment, the Boeing 757. In terms of their daily utilisation rate, Finnair Leisure Flights' 227-seat aircraft are the world's most efficient fleet for this type of aircraft. The lease agreements of all seven of Leisure Flights' aircraft will expire at the beginning of 2010, at which time the harmonisation of the leisure flight and scheduled traffic fleets will be considered. painting to oxygen bottles, assessed the necessity of everything carried, discarded everything unnecessary, reduced the number of items and exchanged all we could for a lighter alternative. The results were excellent," says Heikki Helander, Manager of Finnair's Engineering Office. n undisputable advantage for Finnair is Helsinki's geographical location. The shortest and most direct route between Europe and Asia runs via Helsinki. Finnair not only offers passengers fast connections, it also flies the ideal routes, thus avoiding unnecessary emissions. Passengers do not need to travel in Europe in the wrong direction first in order to catch a longhaul flight to Asia. On longer flights, moreover, it is better in terms of the environment to make a stopover, in which case fuel is not consumed carrying fuel that is needed later. A "An aircraft carrying less fuel produces less emissions. When flying between Paris and Hong Kong, for example, it's worth making a stopover: a flight from Paris via Helsinki to Hong Kong consumes less fuel than a direct flight from Paris to Hong Kong," explains Ihamäki. Similarly, it would be better to fly from Berlin to Asia via Helsinki rather than Frankfurt, and from Manchester it would be better to fly to Asia via Helsinki rather than London. F innair has just implemented a Weightwatchers project. Every extra kilo carried on an aircraft consumes more fuel and produces more emissions. "In the Weightwatchers project, we went through all of the factors influencing the weight of an aircraft, from Finnair's Weightwatchers project examined every factor influencing aircraft weight, from painting to catering equipment and oxygen bottles. less weight means fuel savings and lower emissions.
