	Finnair at 80 — Virtual Finland
		Finnair is one of the world's oldest airlines; the fifth oldest, in fact, founded in November 1923, five years after the end of World War I. Its first route, Helsinki to Tallinn, was opened in 1924 and was served by seaplanes fitted with floats in summer and skis in winter.
		Finnair's Christer Haglund admits that the civil aviation business is experiencing the most difficult times in its history (just as Finnair is celebrating its 80th anniversary) but he adds that Finnair is ready to embrace the challenges and is planning its future with confidence.
		He cites two factors that underpin Finnair's optimism, at a time when airline executives are wearing smiles to mask their frowns, namely the commitment of the most experienced airline in the northern skies to customer care and continuous development.

	[No title]
		Finnair is one of the longest-established airlines in the world, for its origins can be traced to 1.
		Finnair missed out the intermediate step of turboprop-powered airliners, and instead proceeded straight to the pure-jet type with a January 1958 order for three examples of the Sud-Aviation Caravelle IA: the first of the aircraft was accepted on 18.
		In general, however, Finnair was notably cautious in its expansion after World War II, and it was not until November 1966 that the airline placed its first order for long-haul aircraft in the form of two McDonnell Douglas DC-8-62CF four-turbofan transports with which to expand the international network to North America.
