Mumbai: Buoyed by the overwhelming response for its Delhi-Helsinki flight, Finland’s Finnair would be launching Mumbai-Helsinki in June and proposes to start a flight from Chennai later next year.

The Delhi-Helsinki flight, being operated thrice a week, would be made a daily service from May 19 and the Mumbai- Helsinki flight would start from June 17 initially for five times a week.

South India is becoming an important destination for Finland with mobile phone giant Nokia setting up its manufacturing facility in Chennai, and Bangalore can be next on the radar with increasing cooperation in software between Indian and the Finnish company, Finnair Indian Sub-continent Director Taina Tornstrom said.

Finnair is the only airlines operating between India and Northern Europe and takes the least time, six and a half hours, covering Delhi-Helsinki.
