Finnair group treasurer Mika Stirkkinen, speaking at CAPA's Airline Fleet & Finance Summit Asia, said (02-Mar-2015) noted the carrier has financed its first two A350-900s with GECAS with two open for "good proposals." Mr Stirkkinen noted: "We issued an RFP for widebodies less than one year ago and I can say it was crowded, as far as I know we were the first to offer A350s to the market." Mr Stirkkinen added: "It's not a secret that we will be making a presentation in Tokyo this Thursday so you can guess what we're aiming for." According to the CAPA Fleet Database, Finnair has 19 A350-900s on order.
