Helsinki: Nordic carrier Finnair will start a daily service between Helsinki and New Delhi from the first week of January while making takeoff and landing times from and to the Indian capital more convenient for passengers soon.
"Our passenger load factor has been the highest from Asia, notably India. We are waiting for deliveries of new aircraft, and from Jan 6, we will become a daily service between Helsinki and New Delhi," said Kari Stolbow, director for India subcontinent.
