RYANAIR is to link Tampere, Finland”s second city, 110 miles north of Helsinki with a daily flight from Stansted starting 30 October (it will be very dark by then in the north ” Editor's note). With no direct flight to London the only previous alternative was via the capital or through Stockholm. The airline already flies from Tampere to Skavsta, 70 miles south west of Stockholm. Ryanair has also announced that it is bringing forward delivery of Boeing 737-800 aircraft to compensate the loss of some of its elderly 200 series models that have been grounded due to historical engineering problems. http://www.ryanair.com
