In response to increasing demand, Finnair flight connections between Asia and Europe will be further boosted next summer with
three weekly direct flights between Hong Kong and Helsinki - without stops at Bangkok. Flights between Singapore and Helsinki
will also be daily during the summer season.
"There is the greatest demand in the Hong Kong and Singapore markets in June, July and August," says VP, Network Strategies
and Management, Petteri Kostermaa, explaining the increase.
The flight time between Hong Kong and Helsinki is cut by as much as four hours to about ten hours by removing the stop at
Bangkok. Passengers travelling from Asia to Helsinki have excellent connection options through Finnair's extensive European
network, which will be supplemented, for example, with flights to Venice next summer. For European travellers, there are good
connections between Hong Kong and mainland China and other capitals of South-East Asia.
Flights between Singapore and Helsinki continue via Bangkok during the summer on a daily basis. Singapore connects
well with flights to and from other parts of Asia and Australia.
Finnair's Hong Kong and Singapore services, like all Finnair's other Asian flights, are operated using Boeing MD-11 aircraft.
Departures will be on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Mondays from Hong Kong, and Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays from
Helsinki, from May 31 to September 2, 2005. The three extra Singapore flights, adding to the four already operating, will be
scheduled from May 30 to August 31, 2005.
