Finnair to restart Mumbai-Helsinki flights from Oct 17After ceasing its service from Mumbai to Helsinki in April last, Nordic air-carrier Finnair has decided to restart the flights from October 17 with a brand new Airbus 330.

The sources said that Finnair will take just eight hours for a one-way-trip between the two destinations, and will function three times a week from Mumbai.

The sources further added that European airline will also operate daily flights between New Delhi and Helsinki from September against four flights operated per week earlier.

The plane, a brand new Airbus 330, will have capacity of 229 seats in the economy class and 42 in the business class.

Apart from Mumbai, this flight would be very convenient for passengers from neighbouring cities like Pune and Ahmedabad.

The Mumbai route also gives Finnair more onward connections to destinations all over India.

As per reports in media, the airline started flights to Delhi in October 2006.
