Finnair has unveiled its latest Asian service to Mumbai, India as part of its updated 2022 summer schedule.

Tickets for the new three times a week service go on sale from April 5 via finnair.com.

The new route to Mumbai is the latest in a series of changes being made as Finnair adapts to the closure of Russian airspace.

Now Finnair connects customers from its Helsinki hub to almost 70 destinations throughout Europe, five in North America and eight across Asia, including Mumbai.

Ole Orvér, Finnair Chief Commercial Officer, said: “Summer sees us increasing flights to over 300 daily flights.

“We continue to serve our key Asian destinations despite the longer routings caused by Russian airspace closure.”

Frequencies across Finnair’s European network have been adjusted following the reduction in transfer traffic.

Those customers affected by flight changes are contacted via email and text messages, and offered the choice of either changing their date of travel or seeking a refund,.

Finnair continues to serve key Asia destinations with daily flights to Bangkok, Delhi, Singapore and Tokyo, three weekly flights to Seoul, twice a week to Hong Kong, once weekly to Shanghai, and now Mumbai.

Apart from flights to Tokyo, other services to Japan have been temporarily suspended for the summer 2022 season, due to the Russian airspace closure.

Finnair’s flights to the US will be boosted by the start of new services to Dallas Fort Worth on March 27, operating four times a week.

The airline’s second new route, to Seattle, opens on June 1 with three weekly frequencies.
