Moomins are the central characters in a series of books and a comic strip by Swedish-speaking Finnish illustrator and writer Tove Jansson. They have appeared on Finnair planes several times through the 1990s and 2000s as part of promotionnal campaigns and were a logical addition to the centennial celebrations of the airline. Main characters Moomintroll and Snorkmaiden could be seen sharing a hug aft of the plane on these two A350s.

Moomins are the central characters in a series of books and a comic strip by Swedish-speaking Finnish illustrator and writer Tove Jansson. These characters are popular in Japan hence the choice of widebodies. After a first batch of aircraft between 1995 & 1999, Finnair applied two new & different sets of Moomins decals to this aircraft and OH-LGB. Santa stickers replaced Moomins in Winter 2006.

Moomins are the central characters in a series of books and a comic strip by Swedish-speaking Finnish illustrator and writer Tove Jansson. These characters are popular in Japan hence the choice of widebodies. The livery was applied to 2 DC-10 in 1995 and from 1996 the same decals were seen on MD-11 OH-LGC ; every winter the aircraft had Santa Claus stickers instead (see separately), with the Moomins back for the rest of the year, every year until 1999.
