Man-Hel Starts 8th Feb 4x weekly
Shame it is not a new route from MAN and I doubt it will affect Finnair's loads too badly.
Well indeed, shame it is not a
new route from
HEL. Why? Look at this:
Discounts for new routes from 1.9.2009.
To promote new connections, Finavia [Finnish Civil Aviation Authority] grants discounts on landing and passenger charges for new routes.
Discounts are granted to new routes for a maximum period of three years. A new route means a connection between two airports with no previous scheduled services.
Discounts at Helsinki-Vantaa airport
Discount on landing charge
1st year 90%
2nd year 70%
3rd year 50%
Discount on passenger charge
1st year 70%
2nd year 50%
Didn't they know about it @EZY?
There still exist a few easyJet apts with no direct connection to HEL - like BSL, LYS, SXF(!!!)...
