New Route of the Day (1 April 2024): Finnair between Helsinki and Wroclaw

Finnair commenced operations between its hub in Helsinki and Wroclaw in western Poland on 1 April. The 1,145-kilometre service will be maintained daily, primarily with the 100-seat E190 aircraft, although most months will also see select flights operated by the Airbus A320-family aircraft. It faces no competition on the route.

We hope that both passengers traveling for tourist and business purposes will benefit from the connection to Helsinki.”
