Jun 10, 2021 (newstodate): The reshaped LCC Norwegian is planning its return to the Finnish market.
   With the first flights from Finland to resume from June 28, 2021, the carrier will launch direct flights from Helsinki Airport to Oslo, Stockholm, Oulu, Malaga and Alicante, with further plans for growth as the market awakens and the airline's aircraft capacity grows.
   At its heyday until 2019/2020, Norwegian had grown to become the second-largest airline operating at Helsinki Airport, aggregating some 15 percent of the total traffic, and trailing only after Finnair  accounting for some 65 percent.  
   And in the original pre-coronavirus summer schedule, Norwegian planned for direct non-stop flights from Helsinki to 21 international destinations, as well as flights on a domestic route network in Finland.
   Norwegian first opened its base at Helsinki in March 2011 with three aircraft serving a network comprising 13 international and two domestic routes.
