Finnair launches summer service from Helsinki to Edinburgh
The Finish flag carrier has announced plans to launch a seasonal Helsinki to Edinburgh service from April 2016
The Helsinki - Edinburgh route will operate three times weekly (1...4..7) from 18th April 2016 to 27th October 2016. It will increase the frequency to four times weekly in June-August and will be operated by a Finnair Airbus A319 and will provide connectivity from Edinburgh to Asia.
Gordon Dewar, CEO of Edinburgh Airport, said: "This is a significant route for Scotland and one we have been working very hard to secure. Not only it will give Scots fantastic connections to the Far East via Finnair's excellent Helsinki hub, it will also open up our country to significant traffic from Russia, China, Japan and Finland itself."
The return fare from Edinburgh to Helsinki starts from £186.
