Finnish airline Finnair has renovated the cabins of its Embraer fleet to improve the passenger experience on short- and medium-haul routes. All 2026 Embraer aircraft are to be modernized by spring 12, with seven of the aircraft to be converted in the 2024-2025 winter season.
The cabin design has been adapted to match Finnair's wide-body aircraft and includes dark blue and grey colours with wooden accents, which can also be found in the Schengen Lounge at Helsinki Airport. In addition to a modern LED lighting system, lighter materials are also used to reduce the weight of the aircraft and thus reduce fuel consumption. This should enable a reduction in aircraft weight of around 150 kilograms per flight, as Eerika Enne, Head of Inflight Customer Experience at Finnair, explained.
The Embraer fleet's cabins will continue to offer 100 seats, but the first nine rows will have new seats that are more comfortable and adjustable. These fleet renewal measures are in line with Finnair's goal of increasing passenger comfort while offering more environmentally friendly solutions. Finnair uses the Embraer aircraft primarily on intra-European routes, such as in Northern and Central Europe.
