Finnair will offer seasonal flights to Hanoi

Finnair has announced that it will commence flights to Vietnam next year.

From 14 June 2103, the European airline will offer three direct weekly flights between Helsinki and Hanoi, operating on a seasonal basis until 27 October.

“We are delighted to be able add Hanoi as our 12th destination in Asia,” said CEO Mika Vehviläinen. “This is yet another important step for Finnair toward our long-term goal of doubling our Asian revenue by 2020.”

Earlier this year Finnair commenced flights to the Chinese city of Chongqing, and the airline now operates to 11 Asian cities: Bangkok, Beijing, Chongqing, Delhi, Hong Kong, Nagoya, Osaka, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore and Tokyo.
