Finnair (AY)

The Finnish airline is strengthening its presence in Europe and stabilising its flight schedule. Starting in 2026, Finnair will serve Luxembourg, Valencia and Turin all year round, no longer limiting these destinations to the summer flights initially planned. The airline has decided to adjust its frequencies to meet growing demand on these strategic routes and optimise the use of its fleet from Helsinki-Vantaa Airport to ensure maximum punctuality on these routes. This year-round service gives Travellers greater flexibility, as they can now plan their trips more easily in any season. This expansion will accelerate in 2026 with the addition of 12 new European destinations to its flight schedule. The carrier is also expanding its long-haul network by launching a direct air connection to Toronto in May, before making its major return to Australia with the opening of the route to Melbourne in October. By expanding its air network, Finnair is further strengthening connectivity between Europe, South Asia and North America from its main hub in Helsinki.

Finnair is bringing consistency to its flight experience. The airline is rolling out a new soundscape created by composer Lauri Porra across its entire fleet. This creation accompanies travellers at every stage of their journey, from the welcome at the gate through to disembarkation. The airline is relying on sounds inspired by Nordic nature to reduce the stress associated with travel and strengthen its distinctive brand image in the international market. Departing from its Helsinki-Vantaa hub, Finnair plays these melodies to create a bubble of serenity before take-off. By personalising the atmosphere in its cabins in this way, the airline transforms every journey into a true cultural immersion. With this sensory touch, Finnair reaffirms its unique identity and transforms air travel into a moment of wellbeing.
