Exciting news for Finnair fans and regional aviation enthusiasts! Finnair has signed lease agreements for two brand new ATR72-600 aircraft, set to join their fleet in 2026. These aircraft will be operated by NoRRA Nordic Regional Airlines, which currently operates a fleet of twelve ATR72-500s exclusively for Finnair. The addition of the ATR72-600s marks a significant step in Finnair's regional fleet growth and renewal plans. The ATR72-600 is known for its fuel efficiency and improved passenger comfort compared to earlier models, which should be a welcome upgrade for Finnair's regional routes. Alongside these aircraft, Finnair is also leasing two additional Embraer E190s, further expanding their regional capabilities.
As aviation photographers, this development gives us a great opportunity to capture some fresh liveries and aircraft in action once they start operating. The ATR72-600s will likely sport Finnair's sleek livery, offering some great photography potential against the backdrop of Finnish landscapes.
