Helsinki: Finnair takes on Guangzhou

Amely Mizzi August 2, 2022 08:03

Oneworld member Finnair will launch a nonstop service between Helsinki and Guangzhou, China, on September 6, 2022. The route will initially be operated once a week. The carrier plans to fly from the Finnish capital every Tuesday. Return flights from Guangzhou will operate every Thursday. Long-haul Airbus A350 aircraft have been announced. Due to the fact that EU carriers are not allowed to use the airspace of the Russian Federation, Finnair will have to fly considerable detours. "We look forward to returning to Guangzhou and gradually expanding our offering for the Chinese market," says Ole Orvér, Chief Commercial Officer of Finnair. The airline also flies to Shanghai once a week. For the 2022/23 winter season, Finnair has a route network of around 70 European destinations. The Guangzhou flight will connect to a number of Finnair's European destinations, with the transfer check required by the Chinese authorities at Helsinki Airport available for the flight to Guangzhou.

Thailand: Aeroflot reactivates Phuket flights in late October 2022

Amely Mizzi August 2, 2022 07:30

From the end of October 2022, the Russian airline Aeroflot plans to fly between Moscow and Phuket again. In Thailand, they are hoping for a large influx of tourists and have confirmed that flights are planned to resume. In the wake of the Russian Federation's military attack on Ukraine, Russian carriers' flight connections to Thailand were suspended. This is also due to the fact that there was at least not unjustified concern that unreturned leased aircraft could be confiscated. Aeroflot and other providers are currently rebuilding the route network on a small scale. They fly almost exclusively to countries that the government classifies as so-called "friendly states". Aeroflot has already started selling tickets on the route to Phuket, which is due to be reactivated. Feeder flights are offered from numerous Russian airports. The "first flight" is announced for October 30, 2022. The Tourism Authority of Thailand confirmed that it has received a definitive commitment from the carrier that the service will be reactivated.
