The airline is updating its ATR turboprop fleet.

HEPA filters are currently in great demand as part of extensive corona hygiene measures. They are used in numerous air cleaning systems to separate pollen, mites and viruses from the room air. Finnair's Airbus and Embraer aircraft are already equipped with HEPA filters. Now it is the turn of the ATR aircraft, and the installation should be completed by early 2022.

“Ensuring the health and safety of our customers and employees has always been our top priority. By introducing HEPA filters in our ATR fleet, we are increasing the hygiene standards in our ATR aircraft, ”says Juha Ojala, Vice President of Finnair Technical Operations
