Finnair is adding two daily flights to its London Heathrow to Helsinki route.
The additional flights start on 27 October and mark a 50% increase in the airline’s capacity between London and Helsinki, with the route now operating up to six times per day, up from four times daily this summer.
The additional services will depart Heathrow each day at 09:55 and 13:10, arriving in Helsinki at 14:45 and 18:00 respectively.
Return flights will depart Helsinki at 10:55 and 21:25, arriving Heathrow at 12:10 and 22:40.
The two new daily flights, on Finnair’s short-haul fleet of Airbus A320s and A321s, will continue throughout summer 2025.
Finnair Market Director in the UK Anssi Partanen said: “We are incredibly excited to be boosting capacity between London and Helsinki, deepening ties between the UK and Finland.
“London has always been an important city for Finnair, and for our customers, so we are thrilled to be announcing this news ahead of the 70th anniversary of the London-Helsinki route in September.
“These new flights are also timed to give our customers increased choice and flexibility when travelling during the peak morning and evening periods and will facilitate even smoother connections onto our network in Northern Europe and the Far East.”
The Heathrow-Helsinki service connects to all four destinations in Finnish Lapland: Ivalo, Kittilä, Kuusamo and Rovaniemi. Finnair is the only airline to offer year-round flights to Lapland.
Return flights start from £174 in economy and £545 in business class, including taxes and charges.
