Thin about it.Finnair a European carrier with a mostly European fleet.And then taking delivery of a IL96 probably a big step back.

can u tell me as to how it will be a step backward, if at all?? ….. maybe politically …

IL-96-300 was brought down or for that matter every single Russian a/c by ICAO Stage III and that was a well though out one as that made sure not a single a/c be sold outside Russia and those who used them coudl not feel content cursing them …. and so was the case with the Tu-204 family untill the Egyptians made with with Rolls Royce engine and got the designation Tu-204-120 … now that The Russian engine makes have overcome the European obstace of Stage III and in the process of meeting the Stage IV, there need not be any fear among the operators of future buyers and definetely not a step backward if anyone buys them……. I think the EU need to have some sort of that DAMN NOISE CONTROL for the Automobiles and the constant racing thats goes around…… all these things prey much look like a double-standard and to just keep any compitition away more than anyhing else ….

and if at all the Finnish has selected it I persume it is with PW 2XXXX engine for which the IL-96 is certified with ….more over the PS-90A and the Salyut engines and if needed be there is the Samara NK-73 propfan engines which was to power the Il-106 (successor to Il-96)…… all these have have cleared the ICAO Stage III, if I am not wrong ….. so i don think it terribly incorrect to think that Finland would select a Russian a/c … but wud be happy to see the Il-96 getting some outside air …

As Russia is Finland’s biggest trading partner, which will only become bigger in years to come…I wouldn’t exclude this possibility.

And by the way…whats with all this “Western/Eastern” bullsh1t? A step back?
What?

they mean in aviation technology.
