Flights from Manchester to Helsinki will increase from eight to 12 a week. From Edinburgh, services will increase from five a week to seven in summer, while Dublin will move from daily to 10 a week.
 
Each flight will also offer an extra 44 seats, as the airline will upgrade capacity on these routes from an Embraer E190 to an Airbus A319.
 
Ole Orver, Finnair chief commercial officer, said: “Our expanded frequencies to the UK and Ireland are also incredibly important to Finnair’s strategy and we know these will prove popular with customers looking to plan their long-awaited summer getaways across Finland, Europe and Asia.”
 
Finnair will also be adding additional flights to Japan in summer 2024.

Connections from Helsinki to Osaka will increase from three to five a week, while Tokyo Narita will rise from four to six weekly flights. They are in addition to Finnair’s existing daily Tokyo Haneda service.
