"It’s great to see Finnair connections in the air again from Turku and Tampere. The new flights are a significant addition to the area's accessibility. Functional flight connections support vitality, the international connections of companies and the growth of tourism," says Petri Vuori, Finavia's Senior Vice President responsible for route development.
