Finnair has boosted its Lapland service ahead of next Winter’s holiday season – by adding more flights to Rovaniemi . The new flights come as demand for travel to the Nordic nations continues to rise among customers searching for Santa and an authentic Arctic adventure. With the new winter schedule, Finnair will offer up to 63 flights a week between Helsinki and Rovaniemi – up to 26% more flights than last winter.
Customers heading for Rovaniemi can now choose from flights departing as often as every 30 minutes during peak periods, giving the airline a unique shuttle service for Arctic-bound customers. The increased capacity to Rovaniemi will support Finnair’s existing network of over 14 destinations in Finland, including Lapland’s other most popular gateways – Ivalo, Kittila and Kuusamo. Across the border in Northern Norway, Finnair is also set to boost connections for customers.
Its popular polar route between Rovaniemi, The Official Hometown of Santa Claus, and Tromsø, the gateway to the Northern Lights, will increase from twice per week to six times per week. International customers will benefit from the increased service, being able to fly into Helsinki and add stopovers in the Arctic’s two most famous cities, Rovaniemi and Tromsø, before returning home via Helsinki. Finnair is currently the only airline offering this unique connection above the Arctic Circle, in addition to its existing year-round Helsinki to Tromsø flights.
