LN-RKG A340 March 19 2016
OY-KBC A340 May 30 2016
OY-KBD A340 June 29 2016
The date for OY-KBM is incorrect and should be around February 20th.

Interested if anyone knows the motivation and or wether they will prioritise refurbished airplanes as all other routes from ARN are served with the new cabin.
Since LAX and EWR will be scheduled together they must be flown with two aircrafts that have sufficient range to reach LAX. Therefore one of the refurbished A340s will be based at ARN from mid march until the fourth A330 HGW is delivered... ^
