Finnair will also add two new frequencies to its Singapore route, making it a daily year-round destination against only five weekly flights during the current winter schedule, and three additional weekly frequencies to Hong Kong, making it a 10-times weekly year-round operation.
The carrier plans to take delivery of four more Airbus A350 aircraft in 2017, bringing the total to 11 aircraft with the forthcoming 8th aircraft to arrive by March 2017.
