[edit] Start of Article

Finnair does not "dominate" domestic air travel. Blue 1, run by SAS is strong competitor domestically and take up a significant share of the market. Perhaps the article should change to reflect this. (82.181.79.183 16:06, 29 May 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Fleet

The fleet info is poor, and recent changes are inaccurate. Finnair's press centre states the first A340-300E arrived on May 25th (not June 2nd) and that another will arrive in June. Airbus's website concurs. An attempt should be made to distinguish between this a340-300E and Finnair's current a340-300 (pre-owned from Virgin), they are different. Finnair's press centre state that the a340-300Es will operate to Tokyo, Nagoya and Shanghai, not Mumbai as is stated. The last two MD-11's will be sold to Aeroflot on Nov. 2008 and July 2009, though several MD-11s already sold will stay in their fleet until the end of 2010, not 2011. As for future plans this is what Finnair themselves say (press centre): A340-300Es there are 3 on order (with one delivered on the 25th May). In addition they have orders for 6 A340s or A330s (2009 to 2010), and options for 4 more. Airbus slightly contradict Finnair when they say Finnair has order 7 A330s/A340s. As for the A350s, Finnair state they have 11 on order, not 9 as stated, and there are options for 4 more. These are errors I found pretty easily by looking on airbus and finnair's website today, I hate to think what else is wrong with the article. It seems people have made changes recently that are not accurate without consulting the discussion page, so rather than make the changes myself now, I would hope we can reach an agreement on the validity of the changes i have suggested.

[edit] Safest Airline

If Finnair is second safest what airline is the safest i cant fine it when i search

EDIT: QANTAS is the safest airline.

[edit] Leading airline

One of Europe's leading airlines? Statistics about that? (non-signed message by 193.143.235.6 on September 30 2005)

I'd have to agree on that. Some entries in this article seem to be somewhat unencyclopaedic. Rewording. Scoo 13:26, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Incorrect link

Link to 1963 crash information http://www.planecrashinfo.com/1963/1963-39.htm is not accurate (points to Japanese plane crash).

Correct link is: http://www.planecrashinfo.com/1963/1963-50.htm

[edit] Hey, Santa

Can anybody confirm Finnair claims to being "official airline of Santa"? Trekphiler 07:59, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

  I can confirm that. They are official airline of santa. Check airliners.net and finnairs pictures so you can see that.
