The last serious accident of Finnair occurred in 1963. At that time, an OH-LCA plane crashed when landing near the Oran Islands off the southwest coast of Finland, killing 22 passengers on board. According to the later analysis, the chief culprit of the accident is probably the fog. Since then, Finnair has rarely experienced various safety accidents.
Finnair was approved by the Finnish Transportation Safety Administration to modify the regulations on the use of portable electronic devices during take-off and landing of aircraft. From now on, passengers on Finnair flights can use handheld electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets and e-readers throughout the flight, but they must set the devices to flight mode.
Finnair is one of the earliest airlines in Western Europe to open direct flights to China, and Shanghai has become an important destination for Finnair. With the arrival of A350, Finnair will continuously upgrade its products and services, expand new routes in Europe, and strive for more passengers to reach their destinations conveniently and comfortably. In addition to going overseas, Finnair A350 fleet will replace the existing A330 and A340 models and fly to Beijing, Hong Kong and other destination routes.
