Monday, 25 Nov, 2021 0

Finnair is beefing up schedules with extra flights from the UK and Ireland to meet the rise in winter season demand.

The capacity boost will see more services on its popular Heathrow to Helsinki route from 27 November, and additional frequencies from Manchester and Dublin to Helsinki from 3 December.

Customers can now choose from seven additional flights between Heathrow and Helsinki from 17 December to 2 January, as Finnair increases flights over the festive period.

From 27 November, the Nordic carrier will also introduce a new weekend service, departing Helsinki for Heathrow every Saturday evening and returning to the Finnish capital on Sunday morning.

The London to Helsinki route will also see the reintroduction of twin-aisle -aircraft from December.

Finnair will re-introduce larger wide-bodied aircraft on certain flights to meet the improved demand from customers and cargo, with extra capacity on the A330s and A350s.

Services from Manchester and Dublin will also increase over the seasonal holidays.

In addition, the route from Helsinki to Edinburgh will continue to be served during this winter period three times a week.

Andrew Fish, Finnair General Manager UK, Ireland & Benelux, said: "We’re excited to continue our recovery and re-establish our popular frequencies from the UK and Ireland in line with customer demand."
