Finnair to Edinburgh

[Approaching Minimums]

Finnair announced today that they will launch direct flights between Helsinki and Edinburgh in April 2006. Finnair will use A319 on route.

This new route will feed Finnair's extensive Asian network offering shortest route from Edinburgh and adjacent cities to Asia. Surely the new destination will be popular among Finnish tourists as well.

No information about the number of weekly flights yet. The press release available here (http://www.finnair.com/web/finnair/scripts/templateLev3ContentById.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@0501900747.1120 760498@@@@&BV_EngineID=cccdaddfdjmigfecfjlcgeedfondglm.0&contentOID=40998&pageid=-8737&RSKey=news_reader)

Finnair is rarely operating any scheduled shorthaul route less than 5 to 7 flights a week...

2x weekly isn't brilliant, but it's somewhat better than once fortnightly, not to mention the 'luxury; of online booking etc etc:rolleyes:
