Finnair expands US services

Finnair will launch 3X-weekly Helsinki-Los Angeles services from March 31, 2019. The new route will be the Finland flag carrier’s first US route to be regularly operated with the Airbus A350-900. Los Angeles will be Finnair’s fifth US destination. The airline will also begin 3X-weekly seasonal flights from HEL to ORD and SFO in April. SFO will become 4X-weekly from May. With these changes, Finnair plans to offer seasonal California services: 3X-weekly to LAX and 4X-weekly to SFO. “We opened our route to San Francisco two years ago with tremendous success … We are confident that this new route to Los Angeles will garner the same level of interest moving forward,” Finnair CCO Juha Järvinen said. The new route will be operated within the Atlantic joint business between oneworld alliance members Finnair, American Airlines, British Airways and Spain’s Iberia.<br/>
