Finnair adds capacity to Warsaw and extends Reykjavik to a year-round route 

(Warsaw 17.1.2017) In line with its growth strategy, Finnair will be adding capacity on several popular European short-haul routes for the upcoming year. This includes adding a daily frequency to Warsaw for the peak summer season.

Due to the popular demand of the new Reykjavik route which begins on April 11, Finnair is adding a fifth weekly frequency on Wednesdays between May 31 and August 11. Finnair’s route to Reykjavik will also become a year-round destination with three weekly frequencies during the winter season. These services are complemented by flights operated by Icelandair where Finnair has a code-share.

For the peak summer season between June 5th and August 4th, Finnair will add a daily frequency to Warsaw, resulting in up to three daily flights between Warsaw and Helsinki on weekdays.

“Over the past 12 months number of Finnair tickets sold by Finnair in Poland to our Asian destinations increased by over 30 %”, says Arunas Skuja, Finnair's General Manager for Eastern Europe and Baltic States. “The combination of shortest routes and smooth connections via Helsinki to key Asian destinations and our modern fleet including the new Airbus A350 XWB aircraft appears attractive to an increasing number of passengers and we are adding a daily frequency from Warsaw for the busy summer season to better meet the growing demand”, Skuja concludes.

In addition to the increased frequencies and capacity to Iceland and Poland, Finnair will be adding frequencies on the below routes:

  • Five additional weekly year-round frequencies to the Copenhagen route as of May 15th, including a morning flight from Copenhagen that enables convenient day trips to Helsinki for business passengers;

  • A third daily frequency to Vilnius on weekdays will be added year-round as of May 29 to open additional European and long haul connections from Lithuania’s capital;

  • An additional weekly frequency will be added to the Dublin route for the winter 2017 season;

  • The Saturday flight to Alanya-Gazipasa, Turkey, will be extended until the middle of December.

The new flights are available for sale on www.finnair.com.
