AT 14.30 


Progress has been made in negotiations between Finnair and the owners of
Finncomm Airlines. Talks on partnership arrangements are taking more time than
expected, so contractual negotiations will not be completed during the first
quarter, unlike previously announced. An agreement is expected to be concluded
during the second quarter of the year. 

Finnair does not aim to become a majority shareholder in Finncomm Airlines.
