Airbus is increasing 330 and 350 production by 1/month each, which doesn’t sound like much but does add up. Agreed, though, glad we aren’t on the 787 train.

I wonder what Airbus says about this. I would think that they are onboard with it, but if Finnair went rogue and is doing this and has a mishap.... wouldn't wanna be a shareholder there.

Third paragraph says they worked “with” Airbus. Implies they have their endorsement

Guy, Finnair is NOT operating the 359 above 283T. I had to make a call to an Airbus contact to verify. The article is wrong. The higher weights are not available until the new 359 comes out in 2024. Finnair’s newest 359 was delivered in 2020.
Finnair “worked” with Airbus to raise their weights from 268T to 283T. The numbers used in the article are not available.

No. The agreement applies to Widebody pilot jobs, and block hours. They didn't (wisely) try and force the company to buy jets as enforcement.
