Finnair, Finland’s flagship carrier, has evolved as a practical flight option for several Korean business and leisure travelers heading to Europe. This is on the back of its competitive pricing policy, customized client services and suitable connecting flights at Helsinki International Airport.



In an discussion with The Korea Times, Jani Peuhkurinen, representative director of Finnair Korea stated that it takes just nine hours to fly to Helsinki from Incheon, stressing the airline has been offering prompt, consistent and secure flight services since June 2008.

Finnair’s country manager stated that the airline achieved a better than 80 percent booking rate just two months subsequent to its launch. He added that it was able to sustain its operation here through the worldwide financial crisis as more Koreans flew Finnair, in spite of the overall sluggish global travel demand.

It presently operates 6 flights between Incheon and Helsinki and the number of weekly flights will raise to seven later this month.
