Finland’s flagship airline Finnair, has become the latest E-Jet operator to select AerFin’s BeyondPool component Flight-Hour Agreement (FHA), signing a long-term contract to support its fleet of 12 E190 E-Jet aircraft.

BeyondPool is a fully bespoke, comprehensive E-Jet component FHA solution, covering repair, overhaul, pooling and on-site provisioning of E-Jet rotable component inventory and is fully supported out of Finnair’s hub in Helsinki.

Finnair tendered the market for a cost-efficient E-Jet rotable component solution providing market-leading on-time delivery and component reliability. After a thorough tender and auditing process, Finnair selected AerFin to deliver this service.

Juha Ojala, Finnair’s VP technical operations commented on the agreement: “We continually evaluate how we can create more value in our supply chain. This tender process required the successful partner to combine a competitively priced solution with the highest levels of quality and reliability of service.

“Given AerFin’s first-class experience of supporting other market-leading E-Jet operators, they were an obvious partner for Finnair to work with. As part of our collaboration, we continue to evaluate Finnair’s growing in-house component repair capabilities to determine how they could complement AerFin’s strong repair network.

“Finnair’s recent build-up of in-house capability for the E-Jet Emergency Escape Slides could lead the way to a more extensive collaboration with AerFin even beyond the E-Jet platform.”

Chris Hooley, AerFin’s director – airframe division added: “We are delighted to announce that Finnair has selected AerFin’s BeyondPool component solution for supporting its ongoing E-Jet operation. AerFin has spent the past number of months working with Finnair to develop a fully tailored component solution designed to meet all of their operational and commercial requirements, whilst providing an element of flexibility as we navigate through this difficult period together.
