First of all Finnair was forced to buy those A340/330s since the A350 program was so heavily delayed by Airbus and the MD-11 fleet was needed to be replaced sooner than A350 was available.

Due to the bad economical situation of the Airbus company Finnair was able to negotiate quite a good price for those A340/330s. In the news it was said that they'll gain good profit for even selling those options in case they'll not buy all the A340/330s they made the deal for.

About B777 it's also bit old technology and the price is also quite high related to the Airbus alternative and the queue for the B787 was also too long.

As for the IFE there is a Panasonics eX2-entertainment system which has 20 movie channel (AVOD) and numerous TV- and audio channels. There is also 20 cds available and USB for iPods etc. (in Y too).

The new planes will fly to Tokyo, Nagoya and Shanghai - whereas the old A340 will go the Mumbai route. Latest A340 arrived just few days ago.
