McDonnell Douglas Launches MD-87:

McDonnell Douglas has announced it is launching the MD-87, a new, smaller version of its MD-80 twin-jet, for delivery to airlines starting in 1987.

Two European airlines have announced the selection of the MD-87 after an extensive evaluation. Finnair will receive eight aircraft and Austrian Airlines four MD-87s, beginning in late 1987. Both airlines operate other versions of the MD-80. Austrian flies nine MD- 81s while Finnair currently operates three MD-82 aircraft and has ordered two extended-range MD-838 for delivery later this year.
