Finnair eyes expanding India-North America traffic

New Delhi: Finnair wants to position itself as a major player in the growing air traffic between India and North America in the new vision the Finnish carrier has drawn up for itself.
The airline also said splitting a non-stop flight of 14 hours between India and the US also poses lesser burdens on the environment.
It hoped to offer the Indian customer more choices when some countries adopt open skies policy.
The airline said it hoped to increase its Asian destinations and frequencies in the future, having added as many as 50 flights between 2001 and now, to take the total to 59.
Finnair, which has been flying charters to Goa for over 20 years, started its scheduled flights from Delhi Oct 31 last year and has been flying daily from Helsinki to the Indian capital since May 19. Mumbai was added to its schedule June 27 with five flights a week.
