Finnair will offer three flights a week from Helsinki, with tickets on sale from 5 April, when an exact launch date will be specified.
The carrier said Mumbai was the latest in a series of changes being made to schedules as the airline adapts to the closure of Russia’s airways. This has meant costly diversions of polar routes to destinations including Japan and South Korea.
Ole Orver, Finnair chief commercial officer, said: “We continue to serve our key Asian destinations despite the longer routings caused by Russian airspace closure."
