[textarea]Finnair consider Edinburgh – Helsinki flights
Finnair is closely evaluating the idea of relaunching flights from Edinburgh to Helsinki, ABTN reports. It says if the route is launched, traffic between Helsinki and Edinburgh is unlikely to be be the first priority, as Finnair wants to increase the use of Helsinki as a hub airport for onward connections to Asian destinations.
Edinburgh is the financial capital of Scotland, and a link between Asian financial hubs such as Singapore, Tokyo and Beijing would be welcome, ABTN suggests.
Jarko Konttinen, Finnair’s VP global brand and marketing communications, said the airline used to serve Edinburgh from Helsinki, and is currently looking at expansion in the UK, adding: 'We are serving London with four daily flights and Manchester with two flights – so far so good. But, if there is a business opportunity to add, for example, a destination in the UK, of course we are looking into that as well.’
