Helsinki Airport’s Asian connections will further improve as Finnair is to add five flights per week to Hong Kong, increasing the number of flights to 12 per week during the summer traffic programme, May 30 – October 9, 2011.
The additional flights to Hong Kong will start and the daily Singapore route will open on May 30. Finnair operates a total of 74 flights per week to Asia. Singapore will be Finnair’s tenth scheduled flight destination in Asia.
Hong Kong in China is one of the world’s most important economic centers, the airline notes. Finland’s geographical location and Helsinki-Vantaa Airport’s fast connecting times enable Finnair to offer its customers one-stop flying times that are compeitive with non-stop schedule times for flights between Asia and other European cities.
“Finnair’s position in traffic between Asia and Europe is strengthening continually. Our Asian strategy is working really well, and demand has grown strongly,” says Christer Haglund, Finnair’s senior vice president of communications. “In addition to the extra flights to Hong Kong, we recently announced that Finnair will open a new route to Singapore in May 2011.”
