Key highlights

• Geographical advantage

(proximity) to serve fast-

growing Asian markets,

allowing most direct and

shortest routes

• Only European carrier

achieving 24 hr aircraft

rotations on many Asian

routes1

• On average over 2 hr less total

travel time relative to 1-stop

itineraries via European hubs

and over 4 hr less total travel

time relative to 1-stop

itineraries via Middle-Eastern

hubs3

• Benefit from Helsinki-Vantaa

Airport’s hub strategy, focused

on competitive positioning

(passenger convenience /

experience and cost) in

Europe–Asia traffic segment

Helsinki advantageous geographic location...

1. Finnair is the only EU carrier able to serve Asian routes in 24 hr rotations, with Singapore as the only current exception

2. FINAVIA airport charges comparison sample: cost calculator implying average cost per Pax for Airbus A340-300, based

on: international routes, MTOW 275 tonnes, MLW 192 tonnes, capacity 260, load factor 75%

3. Average time saved, compared to major European and Middle-Eastern hubs

...Supported by favourable geographic location and modern, efficient airport

(hub) infrastructure

HEL CPH ZRH VIE FRA

... Allows Finnair to be the only European carrier able to

operate 24 hr aircraft rotations on all but one of its current

Asian routes1... Sustainable competitive

advantage based on location:

Tokyo – Hamburg

Direct (no service) 9 014 km

Via Helsinki 9 021 km

Via Frankfurt 9 805 km

Via Dubai 12 882 km

Sustainable competitive advantage and cost benefits:

• Very high aircraft utilisation in long-haul traffic (highest utilisation

rates of any airline in terms of block hours for A330s in operation)

• Less need for additional crew members

• Lower fuel consumption due to shorter flight times

• Eco smart, sustainable choice as shortest route with a stop over

generates less emissions

Average cost per pax2 (€)

... And benefit from Helsinki-Vantaa Airport’s comparatively low

costs vs selected other main airports in Europe

Key highlights

• For a carrier of Finnair’s size,

an all-Airbus fleet increases

operational efficiency and

flexibility by allowing

centralised spare parts, more

streamlined maintenance

programs, and optimised crew

allocation

• With an average fleet age of

10.1 years1, Finnair is on the

lower end of key peers

• The replacement of older

A340s with the new A350

aircraft will further improve the

average fleet age comparison

with key peers

All-Airbus wide-body fleet delivers strong economic

benefits…

1. Finnair operational fleet as of 30 Dec 2016, excluding Embraer & ATR fleet operated by Norra

2. Owned or finance lease

3. Will be phased out between by the end of 2017, being replaced by the A350. Only one of the A340s was in operation at end-December.

4. Total orders: 19

5. Peer average fleet age as of: 30 June 2016
