Finnair launches fourth Airbus A330

Finnair has launched its fourth Airbus A330 this week, commencing flights from Helsinki to Delhi in India.

The deployment of the new aircraft on commercial service also means that the airline will be able to launch additional flights to Osaka in Japan on July 6th.

Finnair is currently in the process of renewing its long-haul fleet, with a total of five new Airbus A330s set to be delivered this year.

All of the planes are equipped with a new cabin design which the airline claims has a "lighter" feel.

In a statement on the new additions to its fleet, Finnair said: "These aircraft represent the latest in travel comfort, modern technology and first class fuel efficiency."

The airline announced recently that it will use the Airbus A330 to operate flights to the holiday hotspot of Phuket in Thailand from next winter.

From its base in Helsinki, Finnair also offers flights to long-haul destinations including Mumbai, Hong Kong and Tokyo.
