About Finnair
Finnair aircraft, Megawallpapers: Finnair is Finland's biggest airline and the national flag carrier. Its main hub is Helsinki-Vantaa Airport Intl. Finnair and its subsidiary companies dominate both the domestic and international air travel markets in Finland. Finnair is a member of the oneworld alliance. In 2005 the airline transported 8.5 million passengers. Its route network covers 16 domestic and about 55 international destinations, in addition there are about 50 seasonal charter-flight destinations. Finnair was founded as Aero O/Y (Aero Ltd) by consul Bruno Lucander in 1923. Lucander had previously run the Finnish operations of the Estonian airline Aeronaut, and in mid-1923 he concluded an agreement with Junkers Flugzeugwerke AG to provide aircraft and technical support in exchange for a 50% ownership in the new airline. The charter establishing the company was signed in Helsinki on 12 September 1923 and the company was entered into the trade register on 11 December 1923. The first flight was flown on 20 March 1924 from Helsinki to Tallinn, Estonia with Junkers F.13 aircraft equipped with floats. The last seaplane service was operated in December 1936 following the construction of the first aerodromes in Finland.
World War II proved difficult for the airline as Helsinki and other Finnish cities suffered air raids. The company saw half of its fleet requisitioned by the Finnish Air Force during that time, and it is estimated that during the Winter War of 1939 and 1940 half of the airline's passengers were children that were evacuated to Sweden.
In 1946 the Finnish government acquired a majority shareholding in the company and re-established services to Europe on 1 November 1947. In 1953, the name Finnair was adopted in the company's marketing strategy. In 1961, Finnair joined the jet age by adding a Caravelle to its fleet. In 1962 Finnair acquired a 27% controlling interest in another Finnish airline, Kar-Air. Finnair Oy became the company's...
