Finnair has placed a firm order for 18 Embraer E195-E2 aircraft.
The airline is proceeding with the renewal of its narrow-body fleet for European routes. In addition, the contract includes options for 16 aircraft and purchase rights for 12 more. The aircraft will be configured with 134 seats, and deliveries will begin in the third quarter of 2027. Finnair expects to receive 3 aircraft in 2027, and 6 aircraft each in 2028 and 2029.

Furthermore, Finnair has signed an agreement with Pratt & Whitney for the supply of spare PW1900G engines for the Embraer E195-E2 aircraft, as well as maintenance services.
