Finnair To Expand Dublin-Helsinki Service
Finnair is to increase capacity on its Dublin-Helsinki service by 50% from this summer, the airline has announced.
The Finnish carrier will add three extra return flights per week between the two capital cities from the start of the summer season, meaning it will operate 9 flights per week with double daily services on Wednesday and Sunday.
The announcement was welcomed by Dublin Airport Managing Director Vincent Harrison.
“We are delighted to see Finnair expand for a second time since it started operating services from Dublin Airport. This increase in capacity is testament to the strong demand and success of this route and the onward connections that it offers.”
Said Fredrik Charpentier, Finnair Sales Director, United Kingdom and Ireland: “We are delighted that due to customer demand we are able to offer even more flight options for our passengers travelling to and from Ireland.
“Our customers value the exceptional Nordic on board experience and the quick and convenient transfers through our Helsinki hub. With the arrival of our new long haul Airbus A350s into the fleet customers can now experience the latest in technology and comfort while travelling to Asia’s leisure and business destinations.”
Finnair currently operates six services between Dublin and Helsinki, using 100-seat Embraer 190 aircraft and offering a convenient schedule timed to connect with the airline’s flights to Asia.
