Well, even without a single base you could have had many different routes served from several bases outside the country, that never happened on a larger scale here. One reason for Finland being “ignored” is the level of airport fees, taxes and charges – but is it really that much higher than elsewhere in Europe? Much more important reason is probably, let’s call it, the "impartial approach to businesses”: same conditions for everybody, no special deals, no preferences. That’s what MOL would have liked, getting incentives. Maybe a “point of honour” for him?
