Finnair raises guidance for operating results

Finnair has raised its guidance for its 2017 comparable operating result as passenger and cargo traffic sales have developed better than forecasted. Finnair has also specified its revenue forecast for 2017.
Finnair estimates that in 2017 its capacity will grow approximately 9%, while full-year revenue is expected to grow slightly faster than capacity. Finnair expects its comparable operating result for 2017 to exceed €155m (2016: €55m). Finnair expects its comparable operating result for 2017 to be in the range of €135-155m (2016: €55m), if current fuel prices and exchange rates prevail and assuming no material changes in business environment.
