Finnair has held an event to show it’s refitted E190 cabin.
Held at Exeter Airport, the airline’s investment will see seven of its E-jets refurbished this winter, with the remainder of the fleet of 12 aircraft having been completed by spring 2026.
Featuring a mixture of Recaro R1 and R2 seats, both seats are lighter than their predecessors. The carpets have also been swapped out for a new, fractionally lighter material and the fluorescent strip lighting have been replaced by Cobalt LED units. Various other interior elements are also being updated, with cabin design consultancy PriestmanGoode brought in to give the whole cabin a ‘theme’.

Eerika Enne, Finnair Head of Inflight Customer Experience, said: “After receiving positive feedback following the rollout of our new long-haul cabin, we wanted to invest in our regional aircraft to further improve comfort on flights within Europe.
“Our aim was to create a harmonious, fresh and inviting travel environment for our customers, with dark blue and grey colours and a hint of wooden laminate – colours our customers now associate with Finnair”.
“We look forward to welcoming customers onboard our newly refurbished aircraft in the coming months, and with new lighter seats and cabins, we know these aircraft will help Finnair fly into the future.”
The E190 jet, operated for Finnair by Nordic Regional Airlines, operates a range of the airline’s most popular domestic and European routes, including Edinburgh, Dublin and Manchester to Helsinki.
