A special milestone marked yesterday in European aviation as Embraer, Finnair, and Nordic Regional Airlines (Norra) celebrate 20 years of E-Jets service. On October 1, 2005, Finnair operated its first E-170 revenue flight from Helsinki to Oslo, ushering in a new era of regional connectivity, comfort, and reliability. Since October 2012, Norra has proudly flown the Embraer aircraft across the skies of Europe on behalf of Finnair.

To commemorate this anniversary, executives from the airlines and Embraer gathered at Helsinki Airport for a celebratory event ahead of flight AY915, which retraced the historic route to Oslo, departed at 4:10pm local time. The flight was assigned a specially designated call-sign – “FIN20Y”.

The event featured a celebration at the gate, speeches from executives, gifts for passengers, and a special send-off for AY915, symbolizing the enduring partnership and shared values of the three companies.
