“Lapland’s unique nature that changes according to season and the adventures it offers attracts a growing number of travellers, and we see an increase in demand on both sides of the winter season. The additional frequencies ensure smooth connections for our customers during high seasons and specific events and support our goal of increasing year-round travel to Lapland and Northern Finland,” said Perttu Jolma, Finnair’s Vice President, Network Management.
For Easter, Kuusamo will see six return flights in April, while Rovaniemi will have one return flight. In autumn, Kuusamo will offer nine return flights from August, Kittilä will add seven return flights in September, and Ivalo will have four return flights.
