The ‘Arctic Express’ service will offer stronger Nordic connections between the Finnish capital, Rovaniemi and Tromsø, allowing travellers easier access to the gateway to the Northern Lights.
The new service will operate twice per week from December 2nd, putting Finnair in a leading position for flights to Lapland this festive period. International travellers can also benefit from the service as they can fly into Helsinki with added stop overs in the Arctic’s most famous cities, Rovaniemi and Tromsø.
Antti Tolvanen, Finnair’s SVP network and revenue management, said: “The Arctic nature and high-quality travel experiences appeal to travellers from various parts of the world, such as Asia and Central Europe. With this new connection, visitors to the Arctic region can conveniently combine both Lapland and Northern Norway in one trip.”
In addition to the ‘Arctic Express’, the airline will also offer 10 daily direct flights from Helsinki to Rovaniemi and a daily service to Tromsø, giving customers the choice to mix-and-match flights to suit their needs.
