Published: 10-09-2020 Travel restrictions force Finnair to cut deeper in traffic program

Sep 10, 2020 (newstodate): Citing sustained travel restrictions, Finnair is cutting deeper into its flights program for October 2020.
  Earlier planning for some 200 daily flight movements, Finnair is now scheduling only 70-80 daily flights and does not now expect to realize the goal of seeing up to 70 percent of the production in the air by the end of 2020.
   Under the new plan, Finnair will operate flights to 42 destinations in Europe and Asia, but with reduced frequencies.
   Also flights from Helsinki to destinations including Bergen, Barcelona, Madrid, St Petersburg and Stuttgart, planned to restart in October, will not be launched.
   Crucial to Finnair, the long-haul traffic will focus on flights to Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, and Shanghai, and the route to Nanjing route will be open again from tomorrow, September 11, with one weekly rotation.
   Alongside the passenger traffic, Finnair will continue to offer scheduled all-cargo flights to New York and Singapore as well as ad hoc all-cargo flights to destinations on market requests.
