Finnair entered into an agreement with CDB Aviation Lease Finance for a long-term lease of two new Airbus A321-200 narrow-body aircraft configured with 209 seats.

The first aircraft is scheduled for delivery to Finnair in late 2017 and the second in 2018. The lease agreements have a minimum term of eight years.

Earlier this year, Finnair announced the long-term lease of a total of six similar A321 aircraft from the first half of 2017 onward. The transactions are part of Finnair’s fleet renewal, where feeder capacity is increased in balance with the previously announced expansion in long-haul capacity.
