Finnair has just announced a major aircraft order, which will allow the company to refresh the fleet of its regional partner.

Huge fan of E2s (not a fan of Finnair). Watch out… you might get stuck… in HEL!
They are my least favourite plane from AY. In business class they sell the seats 2+2 so you don't even get an empty middle seat. It would have been much nicer if they ordered A220's. I deliberately book other routes to avoid any Finnair Embraer flights.
A terrible and cramped aircraft, with seat pitch less than the E90 they are operating currently. And 2+2 business class with no empy seat. I feel sad.
Took a flight from HEL (literally) on Finnair’s regional carrier Norra to VNO. Probably the longest 1 hr 45 min of my life. Zero leg room and nowhere to stow your carryon on the loud and slow ATR72 aircraft. Please tell me these new E195-E2s are better? Since then have been avoiding Finnair over the ocean because regional connections are often operated on those hellacious ATRs. No amount of blueberry juice on board is going to fix that traveler experience.
Ben, have you seen the big news from UA?
Meet the brand-new United Relax Row℠ – a new United Economy® seating option (and the first of its kind from any North American airline).
From perspective of Economy, 2-2 is far better than 3-3; maybe save money, skip Business. Spend your Euros on Moomin, or something.
Airpus suckup. Franco-Canadian Spaghetti-Os suck compared to the E195-E2. Death to 2-3.
I fly with these planes multiple times a month, as they are one of the backbones of KLM Cityhopper.
These planes are awesome. Very spacious, silent and enough room for your luggage. Of course, it depends on the configuration of the airline. But comparing to the AF A220, these are a class of their own.
Good to see them getting some orders in.

Oh no I might get stuck in one of the most pleasant European airports to transit
This plane left me with a poor final impression of Finnair after a rather solid 14 hours back from ICN on the A350. I can sort of understand having to make do with 2-2 on short hops to domestic destinations, Sweden, and the Baltic states, but the journey to Manchester is far too long for that to be called 'business class'- I would much rather fly via CPH instead.
The funny thing is that they're selling business light fares whose only benefit over Y is a separate check in desk and some underwhelming cold snacks.
... but how 'bout adding something 'stronger' into that blueberry juice, and then see whatcha think ! ... lol
I think from a strategic approach, this is good given how long and how far many of the flights from Finland are these days and given the current situation in the region. It will take time before long haul demand for Finnair returns.
I rode one of these on a Porter flight. Better than the A220, which I also really like. It is a damn shame these won't fly much in the US. I would love to see Southwest use them, for example. JetBlue passed on them for the A220. Maybe Hawaiian will take them as replacements for the 717 on inter-island flights as an alternative to the A220?
