Toulouse-based Airbus said Finnair has firmed up an order for eight extra A350-900 wide-body jets. Finnair was the first airline to select the A350-XWB and will be the first European airline in the autumn of next year to receive it.
The aircraft are in addition to 11 Airbus A350-XWBs that the airline already has on order, powered by the Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engine.
The decision will mean additional Trent XWB engine business for Rolls-Royce worth $450m at list prices.
Airbus shares rose €0.01 to €48.75 at 11:17 in Paris. Rolls-Royce was 4.5p up at 862p at 10:18 in London.
