FINNAIR SELLS SIX BOEING MD-80 AIRCRAFT


FINNAIR PLC		STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE	11 APRIL 2008 AT 16:10

The Finnair Group's Finnair Aircraft Finance Oy has today sold the six Boeing   
MD-80 aircraft and three spare engines it owns to the Allegiant Travel Company's
low-cost carrier Allegiant Air, which is domiciled in Las Vegas, Nevada U.S.A.  

The aircraft are currently flying in the colours of the Swedish airline         
FlyNordic. In July last year, Finnair sold FlyNordic to the low-cost carrier    
Norwegian Air Shuttle.                                                          

The MD-80 aircraft were sold to Allegiant Air complete with lease agreements,   
and the aircraft will continue to be operated by FlyNordic until the end of     
their leasing periods in 2008 and 2009, when they will transfer to the use of   
Allegiant Air.                                                                  

Last year Finnair recognised excess depreciation amounting three million euros  
for the aircraft now sold, so the aircraft sales are not expected to have any   
significant impact on Finnair's result.
