Finnair Embraer

[talmacapt]

Finnair have cancelled all flights on their e-jets tomorrow.

I suspect it is a tech problem but have no more information.

[Rwy in Sight]

Does the issue impacts only Finnair?

[talmacapt]

The answer is I don't know.

It was the second item on the national news this morning and all that was said was that it is a technical problem.

I have tried googling but it doesn't seem to give any more information.

Finnair website has no information.

Just had a look at HEL departures/arrivals and, although their were cancellations this morning, it seems that their are no e-jet cancellations, yet, for later in the day.

As you probably know, talmacapt, there are problems with the engines on some Embraer series at the moment. It's mainly the P&W-powered ones, but I wonder if there's a common component that's been identified as a trouble-maker?

[Rwy in Sight]

So probably either airframe related or a tech support issue

[talmacapt]

I didn't know that Tango, you may well be correct.

I noticed that the Ivalo flight earlier was an atr whereas it is usually a jet

Takes about 21/4 hours in an atr whereas only 11/2 in a jet.

Expect Finnair have spare a/c on a Saturday.

It seems that some, perhaps all, Finnair e-jets are back in the air today.
