Apr 09, 2018 (newstodate): Since 2015, the Chinese carrier Beijing Capital Airlines has been licensed by CAAC to launch services to Helsinki, Finland.
But after several preliminary startup dates, it now seems that the carrier has abandoned the plans entirely.
Beijing Capital Airlines has thus now deleted the Helsinki flights from its summer 2018 schedule.
In its previous adjustment, the carrier postponed its planned start of three weekly flights with Airbus A330-200 aircraft on the route between Beijing and Helsinki to June 29, 2018, against June 22, 2018, as earlier noted.
Plans for flights were first aired already in September 2015 with start of services by winter 2015 - which however did not materialize.
Beijing Capital Airlines next announced plans to launch flights from Beijing to Helsinki from May 2017 with two weekly rotations using Airbus A330-200 aircraft, which also did not happen.
Another Chinese carrier, Lucky Airlines was also planning flights to Helsinki from Kunming via Chengdu, to commence with two weekly rotations from January 17, 2018, using Airbus A330-200 aircraft - which however never realized.
