Finnair to increase bellyhold service to Asia
By Phil Hastings

London: Finnair is set to introduce more bellyhold cargo capacity out of Asia next year, notably Japan, following the addition of another two MD-11 passenger aircraft to its fleet.

The Finnish carrier, which last month opened a further Asian route into its Helsinki hub - out of Guangzhou, China - said it planned to add a seventh MD-11 in December and an eighth during 2006.

"We need more capacity as we open new routes in Asia and add frequencies to our current destinations,'' said Finnair president and chief executive officer Keijo Suila.

Those developments, he told an investors' meeting in Helsinki, would include the launch next summer of a third Japanese route, out of Nagoya.

"Within a couple of years, we will have some 10 wide-body aircraft. We will add between one and two new destinations in Asia per year and increase frequencies to current destinations,'' he added.

Men blir det 10 MD11 eller begynner de å ta i mot A350 som eventuelt bygger seg opp til en større flåte? Det er vel mer plass til cargo i en A350 enn i en 787 også...

[MD11]

I følge AY's markedssjef i Norge så vil en ny longhaulflytype bli faset inn først etter 2010.

Jeg tipper det blir A350. Uansett, all økning før den tid tilsier MD11 og det passer fint ettersom TG skal selge sine 4 stik med GE CF6 engines.

Men Thai vil vel prøve å selge sine 4 MD11 samlet og Finnair ønsker vel ikke alle samtidig?
