Finnair has launched a new service between Edinburgh and Helsinki.
The new route operates three times per week on Monday, Thursday and Sunday, using an Airbus A319 with 138 seats across business and economy classes.
There will also be an extra fourth weekly service during the peak summer season from June 22 to August 10.
Finnair is hoping to attract Scottish passengers travelling to the Far East destinations of Beijing, Seoul and Hong Kong.
Gordon Dewar, Edinburgh airport’s chief executive, said: “It is further confirmation of Edinburgh airport’s position as a leader for connectivity from Scotland to Finland and onwards to the expanding markets of Asia.”
Finnair already operates flights from Heathrow, Manchester and Dublin to Helsinki.
