馃洭 Finnair is now the only EU-based airline to fly to Australia. They saw the already existing and decided to go all in with the daily service. I now wonder if more airlines from other groups (LH, AF/KLM?) will join. Congratulations to Finnair and MEL! 馃帀
馃巺 The days is not over yet. We awaiting Santa Claus to step down from his sleigh (the Airbus A350-900). Beautiful light this morning in Melbourne.

A short layover in Bangkok before continuing to MEL. OH-LWO is getting cleaned ahead of the second leg of the inaugural flight. 馃嚘馃嚭

Top notch catering from HEL. We visited Finnair's facilities back in February and saw how AY goes through literal thousands of blueberry juice every single day. Ahead of the MEL service, Finnair has shipped 18,000 litres of blueberry juice to BKK 馃珢

馃嚝馃嚠 Finnair's platinum wing is a literal first class lounge, even without the airline having a first class cabin. It goes without saying, I needed to add the sauna experience at the airport. This is probably my favorite airport lounge in Europe.

And the experience at @Finavia HEL remains top notch, no matter the travel class seriously.
Smooth sailing on AY1302. Two-hour flights don't get much better than this. Complimentary WiFi (that worked pretty well), good meal, excellent crew - full article coming tonight via @airwaysmagazine. 鉁嶏笍鉁堬笍
馃捄 Finnair's business class is such a well executed cabin. Simple, cozy, light, and well-maintained, the airline has installed the AirLounge product on all its A330s and A350s aircraft. And it's quite common to find these aircraft on flights to MUC, BRU, LHR, AMS and LPA.
馃捄 Seat 7L on board OH-LWK, the Air lounge, on this 1:50 hour flight to HEL. Finnair's cabin is probably the best executed in the world and definitely one of my favorites. The seat does not recline but offers so much space and privacy, even without a door.

馃尫 KLM's first A350-900 ready for take off to SVG and a triple seven photo bombing from RWY 18L.

馃敶 Airbus' 2026 Cargo Global Market Forecast projects the worldwide fleet of dedicated freighter aircraft to grow 46% from 2,360 in 2026 to 3,460 aircraft by 2045. According to the forecast, there will be a requirement for 2,670 freighters.
Two hours of delay and counting. All flights heading to Italy are experiencing delays or cancellations, including ours. This is because of an IT issue at ENAV. Not the best way to fly KL1613 to Milan Linate 馃檮
馃憖 Pit stop. Something I've never seen before, a tire replacement on the front landing gear done just before the flight. Now the Boeing 737 looks like my bike from this angle (or at least how I think my bike looks like sometimes).
