The airline is looking at expanding its operations to Chennai and Bengaluru next year. It is also going to increase its operations on the Delhi-Helsinki route from six days a week to daily services and is considering re-instating its Mumbai-Helsinki flight by end of this year. Furthermore, the airline is also looking at ways to develop synergies with Kingfisher Airlines which recently became a part of oneworld Alliance as it is planning to boost transfer traffic between India and North America via Helsinki.
Starting with three flights a week on Mumbai-Helsinki route, the airline will also be evaluating key routes with South India being prominent on the radar.
