Isn't it just these routes one of the reasons they got the A32B? A narrowbody with extended range and one class config.
From the original press release:
The five A321s with Sharklets will replace Finnair’s four Boeing 757s that have been used mainly for leisure and charter flights, enabling more flexibility and interoperability between European scheduled and leisure flights, driving up aircraft utilisation and thus improving returns on the fleet investment.
