Days gone by on board
Can you hear a sound from the past? It is from the wings of Finnair's airplanes! In 2008 Finnair flew 1950s style to three Finnish and several European cities. Shining metallic color, a blue stripe on the side, and "Finnish Airlines" emblazoned on its side added the final touches to the stylish retro plane, which has now joined our fleet for many years to come. The airplane was named Silver Bird following a naming competition; what could be a more appropriate name for this clean-lined bird!
Our return to the past was not limited to the exterior of the plane. Our cabin crew was decked out in uniforms from the 1950s, and takeoff took place to the beat of music from the era.
The retro flights were operated between July 30th and December 31st, 2008. Finnair offered a total of 61 retro flights with retro cabin crew.
