Finnair to add winter frequencies to Bangkok
(Warsaw 27.2.2014) Next December Finnair will supplement its double-daily winter service to Bangkok with three additional frequencies per week from December 30, 2014 to March 27, 2015. The extra flights bring the number of Finnair’s peak-season weekly Bangkok services to 17, the most frequencies of any European carrier.
The additional flights are scheduled to depart on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evenings. AY091 departs Helsinki Airport (HEL) at 20:15 for arrival at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) at 11:00 local time the next day. AY092 leaves Bangkok on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays at 12:45 for arrival in Helsinki at 18:55 local time.
Together with the daily Bangkok flights AY089 (departure at 16:40) and AY095 (18:30), the three extra flights constitute an intensive traffic program giving passengers a wide range of choices and connectivity throughout Finnair’s network.
“Thailand has long been a popular destination also for Polish travellers, and adding capacity will help us meet an enduring and growing demand,” says Juhani Nuoramo, Finnair's Sales Director for Europe East. “As the European airline with most weekly frequencies to Bangkok and several other Asian destinations, we can offer many excellent connections via Helsinki when ever a direct flight is not an option.”
Finnair offers up to 28 frequencies per week to three cities in Japan and 28 to five cities in China. Delhi, Hanoi, Seoul and Singapore round out Finnair’s other Asian destinations that seamlessly connect via Helsinki to a network of more than 50 destinations in Europe.
Next winter Finnair will also begin operating nonstop scheduled services between Helsinki and Miami, Florida. The new seasonal flight, operated with Airbus A340 aircraft in a two-class Business and Economy cabin configuration, will commence from December 16, 2014 until March 21, 2015.
