Finnair to add Mumbai as its new route

New Delhi: As part of its strategy to focus on Asian countries including India, Finnish carrier Finnair on Sunday said it would launch a new service to Mumbai on June 17 and increase the frequency of flights to the national capital.
Mumbai is a completely new destination to be launched, with five days a week service, Finnair said in a statement.
Moreover, in mid-May the current three-weekly frequency for flights to national capital will be increased to daily.
"Mumbai was chosen as a new long-haul destination because of great demand and in response to requests from Finnish and Indian customers," Petteri Kostermaa, responsible for scheduled route strategy at Finnair, said.
Noting that Mumbai was India's centre of business and logistics, Kostermaa said there is big potential for tourist traffic to Europe as country's most affluent people live in the area.
