Finnair Trials New Inflight Deli Concept on Flights Between Manchester and Helsinki

Finnair is experimenting with a new Deli concept in its Economy class on flights between Manchester and Helsinki between June and October 2012.

The new Finnair Deli menu includes a wide range of items, from french fries and pizza, to Scandinavian tapas plates with reindeer mousse and smoked elk.

Starbucks’ coffee, tea and hot chocolate complement the beverage selection, while different drink and snack combos are also available.

The Deli menu is available for a price in economy class, while in business class, the meal is included in the ticket price.

For customers in either class transferring via Helsinki, to or from Finnair’s 11 Asian destinations, a complimentary snack box is included in the price of the ticket.

“Based on customer feedback and our experience, many of our customers would like to have more freedom of choice on what they eat on these kinds of short flights,” said Maarit Keränen, Head of Service Concept. “With this trial, we hope to gather information about customer preferences and views on buy on board selection, in order to be able to further develop our service offering.”

Finnair flies from Manchester to Helsinki 14 times a week.
