Finnair is offering new destinations and frequencies for the summer season – running from March 31st to October 26th.

New scheduled flight destinations include Antalya in Turkey, Tel Aviv in Israel, and Palma de Mallorca in Spain.

Frequencies to Malaga, Barcelona and Madrid are also being increased significantly.

Finnair earlier announced two new summer connections to Asia: to Hanoi from June 15th, with three frequencies per week and Xi’an from June 14th, also with three frequencies per week.

Starting June 5th, flights to Palma de Mallorca will be operated twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays, and have good connections to domestic, Baltic and St. Petersburg flights.

Scheduled flights to Antalya start on June 7th and the route will be operated twice a week, on Thursdays and Sundays.

The city is a popular tourist destination, and direct scheduled flights are attractive to vacation home owners in the Antalya region.

Flights to Tel Aviv in Israel start also on June 7th.

Two weekly flights depart from Helsinki on Mondays and Fridays.

Finnair’s Spanish routes are becoming increasingly attractive among both Spanish and Asian passengers connecting via Helsinki on long haul journeys.

In summer 2013, Finnair flies daily to Malaga and to Barcelona ten times per week.

Additionally, during the peak season from June 7th to September 22nd, Finnair will serve Barcelona with double daily flights.

Madrid flights will be operated daily, and frequencies go up to ten times per week from June 14th to July 30th.

Other additional frequencies in the summer schedule include four weekly connections to Dubrovnik and Ljubljana as well to Krakow, where frequencies are doubling from the previous year.

St. Petersburg will be operated by Flybe Finland twice a day, and the flights have good connections to Finnair’s long-haul and domestic destinations.

Toronto in Canada will be served with five weekly flights between May 23rd and September 8th.

Domestically, morning frequencies to Turku and Tampere are added, which will significantly increase connectivity to long-haul flights as well as to Baltic and Nordic countries. Added frequencies will be operated by Flybe Finland.
