Finnair has ordered 5 Airbus A321 according Luchtvaartnieuws.
But the big news here is not 5 more A321 to Finnair (they have 6 already), but that these will be of the ER variant to replace the B757. They will be equipped with winglets! Since when are these winglets on offer?

Thanks! I had heard of the program before, but never knew it was announced already. Especially so for the A321. Nice to see, although I hate those surfboard shaped winglets, so lets see how this affects the Airbus family...
