Finnair Cargo to launch India service

New Delhi: Finnair Cargo Saturday said it will commence operation of cargo flights between Helsinki and Mumbai from Sep 16.
"The new freighter services offer fast connections between India and northern Europe. According to our customers, there is a great need for cargo capacity, especially between Nordic countries and Mumbai," Finnair Cargo's vice president (global sales) Pertti Mero said.
According to the company, the move was in line with the airline's plan to expand its operations to leverage the transit traffic between Asia and Europe.
