Finnair has announced it will increase capacity between the UK and Ireland to Helsinki for summer 2017.
The airline’s Edinburgh service, which launched in April, will be served by five weekly flights operated by a 138-seat Airbus A319 aircraft in a dual business and economy class configuration.
Finnair will also increase its capacity to Dublin, Ireland. As of 27 March, the airline will operate up to nine weekly flights between the two cities, an increase of three flights a week compared to the winter schedule.
The route will be operated by a mix of Airbus A319 and Embraer E190 aircraft during the 2017 summer season.
Andrew Fish, Finnair sales director UK, Ireland & Benelux, said: “We are pleased to announce these enhancements, due to passenger demand, to our summer 2017 schedule between the UK, Ireland and Helsinki, allowing passengers even greater flexibility to take advantage of our award winning service and excellent connections to Asia.”
