Air Finland files for Bankruptcy

Unfortunatelly looks like there's another airline that didn't manage to survive these times...

Air Finland wasn't exactly an usual airline here at Madeira but on last years they've made some flights during Winter Season.

My favorite shot at them was taken at Porto Santo, still wearing the old colors...

OH-AFK landing at Porto Santo (PXO/LPPS) runway 36 in a flight for another company (don't remember if it was NEOS or Livingstone...)

Another great surprise was in the day they brought this 757 (OH-AFL) with Allegiant Air colors

But the airline's latest livery was also very nice, here with OH-AFJ landing on Madeira's runway 23 (LPMA/FNC)

New Photo of the Week - Air Finland dressing Allegiant Air

Today was one of those days that got myself thinking if it was worth to go to the airport at lunchtime, before heading to work....

Finally decided to go and check the status of the Easyjet that had yesterday a birdstrike on the engine...if nothing would be going on with that plane, at least would have some nice traffic to photograph....

The first surprise of the day was the Jet2 757....as far as I know it's only the second time they bring one of those....

But, the best was yet to come...noticed Air Finland coming in to land in 23, far away...pointed the camera and noticed the winglets...Great! They still hadn't brought any 757 with winglets...

When it was on final, noticed that the livery was different....at first though that it was the old livery but then, realised it was something completely diferent!!!! WOW!! It's been quite a while since I last got a surprise like that....just like the old times when you had no idea what was coming and kept getting new stuff....

Fantastic tail from Allegiant Air livery! Still maintaining the colors from previous operator and the new finnish registration: OH-AFL (old N901NV), check Airfleets Data

Despite the white fuselage, a great livery and definitely a premiere of these colors around here (that probably won't last long on that plane....)
