The first renovated cabin has been completed, and the airline aims to refresh its entire fleet of 12 Embraer aircraft by spring 2026. During the winter season of 2024\u20132025, seven aircraft will undergo refurbishment, with the remaining planes scheduled for renewal in the winter of 2025\u20132026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This Embraer fleet primarily services various destinations across Finland and Europe, focusing on shorter routes in Northern and Central Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new cabin design features a color palette and ambiance that aligns with Finnair\u2019s recently upgraded wide-body fleet, as well as the new Schengen lounge at Helsinki Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We wanted to create a harmonious, fresh and inviting travel environment for our customers, with dark blue and grey colours and a\u202fhint of wooden laminate \u2013 elements familiar from our long-haul aircraft,&#8221; says\u202f<strong>Eerika Enne<\/strong>, Head of Inflight Customer Experience. \u00a0<br>\u00a0<br>&#8220;The renewed cabin will feature two new seats. The seats on rows 1\u2013 9 offer a bit of additional comfort thanks to its design and cushioning. The seats in the first rows recline slightly, while from row 10, the seat does not recline. The service concept will remain unchanged in connection with the cabin renewal,&#8221; <strong>says\u202fEnne.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The seating capacity of Finnair&#8217;s E190 aircraft remains the same, featuring 100 seats as previously established. Alongside the cabin refurbishment, the lighting system has been upgraded to energy-efficient LED lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A key goal of the Embraer cabin upgrade was to minimize the aircraft&#8217;s weight, as a lighter aircraft leads to decreased fuel consumption and lower carbon dioxide emissions. Consequently, weight reduction has been a crucial factor in the design of all cabin components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Both the Business Class seat and the Economy Class seat are lighter than the previous Embraer cabin seats, and also the cabin carpet is made of a lighter material than before. With these changes, we aim to reduce the weight of the aircraft by approximately 150 kg per aircraft,&#8221;<strong> Enne notes.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finnair is embarking on a significant upgrade of its Embraer fleet cabins to enhance passenger comfort on its shorter routes.
