Finnair Launches Direct Flights to Singapore

Finnair opens direct flights to Singapore today, 30 May 2011.

The flights are being operated using Finnair's state-of-the-art Airbus A340 aircraft.

"Finnair's Asian strategy has worked extremely well," said Finnair CEO Mika Vehviläinen. "The Singapore route will strongly support our core strategy as well as serving our main target group of customers travelling between Asia and Europe on business."

Singapore is Finnair’s tenth scheduled destination in Asia.

The new route offers excellent onward connections from both Helsinki and Singapore. For Asian customers it opens up connections to the 50-strong European destination network served by Finnair.

Customers traveling onwards through Singapore can connect with flights offered as part of Finnair's partner network to Australia and Singapore's neighbours, Malaysia and Indonesia, for example, with the potential for fabulous holiday trips to these and other countries.
