Finnair begins scheduled flights for Finnish passengers and those travelling
from Far East destinations to Venice as of March 28, following the
implementation of the summer timetable on March 27. The flights continue
through the summer period until October. The non-stop service operates twice
a week, Mondays and Fridays.
Monday flights depart at 16.30, arriving 18.15. Return flights depart at
19.00, arriving at Helsinki at 22.45. Friday flights depart from Helsinki at
9.30, arriving at Venice at 11.15. Departures from Venice are at 12.00,
landing at Helsinki at 15.45.
"There is plenty of demand for flights to Italy from Finland and from the
Far East," says Petteri Kostermaa, Vice President, Network Strategy and
Planning. "Venice is an 'evergreen' favourite for Finns and one that travel
agents receive many enquiries about.
Italy is a best-selling
destination in the Japanese and Chinese markets. The flights connect well
with our many Far East services."
From Venice, there are many excellent onward connections by road to
Verona, for example, as well as to the Adriatic coast and
Florence
and Tuscany. The region of Veneto is also an important area for business
travel, including the majority of the Italian shoe and clothes industries.
Flights are operated using Boeing MD-80 aircraft on a one class basis,
without Business Class.
