Finnair starter i mai 2018 nye ruter fra Bergen og Tromsø til Helsinki. De nye rutene opprettes i samarbeid med Widerøe, skriver NTB/Nettavisen.
Det finske flyselskapet har som ambisjon å åpne opp Asia for nordmenn.
– Nordmenn elsker å reise til Asia, og nå får våre norske kunder nye sømløse forbindelser til de 19 byene vi flyr til i Asia via Helsinki, skriver Robert Lönnblad, sjef for Finnair i Skandinavia, i en pressemelding.
Lönnblad sier at de merker begeistringen går begge veier – nordmenn er interesserte i å fly til Asia, og asiaterne er interesserte i å fly til Norge. Finnar har en uttalt vekststrategi om å knytte stadig flere destinasjoner inn i sitt Asia-nettverk.
Det blir satt opp daglige flygninger fra Bergen til Helsinki, og én ukentlig mellom Tromsø og Helsinki. Rutene flys med Widerøes fly, mens salg av billetter og markedsføring gjøres av Finnair.
