accessories from four Boeing MD-11 aircraft.
The modification project will commence in April and last till August, 2008. Finnair Technical Services has carried out base maintenance
checks for Martinair MD-11 fleet since 2005.
“We appreciate the continuation of the co-operation with Martinair. The agreement also strengthens Finnair’s position as an MD-11
wide-body aircraft maintenance unit in Europe, and indicates Finnair's competitiveness on world-wide aircraft maintenance markets,”

Finnair Technical Services’ annual turnover is over €200 million, of which approximately 25% comes from customers outside
the Finnair
