Nov 20, 2015 (newstodate): Helsinki Airport has seen the second airline introducing competition on the route to Dubai, so far only served by Finnair since February 2011.
The new low-cost alternative launched on November 19, 2015, is offered by Norwegian that is now providing daily flights between Helsinki and Dubai.
Adding the new service to Dubai from Helsinki, Norwegian is now online to Dubai from all four Nordic capital airports.
In April 2010, Norwegian started operating flights to Helsinki from Stockholm and Oslo, bolstering its presence in the market by setting up an operational base at Helsinki Airport from spring 2011.
Norwegian is today the airport's second-largest airline in terms of operations, accounting for 12 percent of all flights at the airport - and set to grow.
