2 An encouraging start to the year
Scheduled Passenger Traffic demand strong, particularly from Asia Finnair’s market share growing in international traffic from Finland Unit costs fell Passenger traffic profitability improved Finnair Technical Services and FlyNordic also clearly better than previous year Fuel price stable, but on a high level FlyNordic joins Norwegian Air Shuttle, creating a strong Scandinavian airline

3 Finnair sold FlyNordic to Norwegian
Memorandum of Understanding in April, final deal during Q2/07 Payment in shares, Finnair’s holding in Norwegian Air Shuttle rises to more than five per cent An option allows Finnair to increase its ownership to around ten per cent by end of 2008 FlyNordic’s charter traffic revenue divided 50/50 until October 2008 Cooperation agreement between Finnair and Norwegian in Asian feeder traffic

4 Efficiency programme takes shape
Target EUR 80 million, of which half is personnel expenses Efficiency areas specified in full Savings weighted towards end of year Profit impact for 2007 around EUR 40 million Full financial impact will begin in 2008 Personnel reductions to date ~300; total in 2007, ~600 More than 200 people recruited into Flight Operations Total number of employees stays nearly the same

Flight personnel agreements Savings from support functions More efficient crew utilisation through network reform Management of exceptional situation processes Feeder traffic reform Mergers in travel agency network (SMT+Area) Cutting distribution costs

6 Fuel costs a fifth of turnover
2007: ~20% of turnover at current price level and planned traffic growth Finnair scheduled traffic has hedged 70% of its fuel purchases for the next six months, thereafter for the following 30 months with a decreasing level.

19 Most modern European fleet
Average age of European fleet below four years 29 Airbus A320 family aircraft New Embraer 170/190 aircraft increase flexibility and load factors, decrease costs and are eco-efficient A total of ten smaller and two larger Embraer in fleet, eight larger aircraft coming A fleet of eight wide-bodied aircraft Two new Airbus A340 aircraft annually

29 Emissions trading for air traffic
EU air traffic accounts for only 0.5% of all CO2 emissions in the world Finnair in favour of emissions trading principles EU proposal sets airlines at somewhat unequal footings depending on route network structure Should be global Competitively neutral Investments already made in new technology should be taken into account Open emissions trading

30 Customers can already make environmental choices when flying
Choose an airline with a modern fleet Fly in the right direction all the way, without unnecessary stopovers. Shorter flight routes result in less emissions Avoid large, congested airports By making these choices, fuel consumption and emissions can drop by at best 30%!
