Finnish airline Finnair said today that it will use an Airbus A330-300 from its own fleet to operate a seasonal leisure service from Helsinki to Phuket in Thailand.
The nonstop flight will run four days per week from November 2009 to April 2010.
The 271-seat wide-bodied aircraft to be used for the Phuket service this winter is one of Finnair’s five long-haul Airbus A330-300s.
The Nordic region is one of the most lucrative markets for the tourism sector. Despite the global recession, Thai Airways recently launched a direct flight between Bangkok and Oslo, Norway – in addition to direct flights to Stockholm, Sweden and Copenhagen, Denmark.
