Extra capacity is being offered by the airline to Finland, Norway, and Sweden during the peak travel season from June to September in response to the growing demand for cooler destinations.
Finnair will be reinstating its route to the Norwegian city of Bodø, which was a success when it was launched last summer. Bodø, one of the European Capitals of Culture 2024, offers customers seeking a unique cultural experience the opportunity to visit and explore.
From June 17, 2024 to August 2, 2024, there will be five flights per week to the small city, which is more than the three flights per week available last summer. These additional flights are scheduled to align with the enchantment of the midnight sun.
