16 August 2019: FFinnair has signed a contract with Magnetic MRO for complete paint work, full interior refurbishment and maintenance of all 12 of the airline's ATR 72's operated for Finnair by its partner company Norra.
All 12 of the aircraft will get a full interior refurbishment which covers painting of overhead bins, attendant seats, galleys, bin doors, stairs and linings, to achieve a new look for the aircraft interior; complete refurbishment of the lavatories, and installing new seats and carpets.
"Finnair has exceeded all of our hopes as a customer as they have been very focused on the end result being as close to perfection as possible," said Magnetic MRO's Interior Project Manager Prtel-Peeter Kruuv. "Their attention to detail and strict standards for the interior design of their aircraft has lifted our team into new heights and made us work even harder. This project has been an amazing learning experience and we're happy to work with an airline so committed to the comfort of their passengers. We hope this is just a kick-off for further design and production projects with our neighbouring flag-carrier."
Magnetic MRO will also perform maintenance checks and painting of Finnair's entire ATR fleet. The project is expected to come to an end by the end of the first quarter of 2020.
