Finnair unveiled the launch of seven new European destinations during its Capital Markets Update on November 13, 2025.
Starting with the summer 2026 season, the Finnish flag carrier will expand its Helsinki (HEL) network with new routes to Kuressaare (URE) in Estonia, Luxembourg (LUX), Stavanger (SVG) in Norway, Thessaloniki (SKG) in Greece, Tirana (TIA) in Albania, Turin (TRN) in Italy, and Umeå (UME) in northern Sweden.
These additions come on top of the five destinations previously announced earlier in 2025: Alta (ALF) in Norway, Catania (CTA) and Florence (FLR) in Italy, the Greek island of Kos (KGS), and Valencia (VLC) in Spain.
Beyond its hub-and-spoke operations in Helsinki, Finnair is also set to introduce three new point-to-point winter routes from Kittilä (KTT) in Finnish Lapland, connecting the Arctic destination with Brussels (BRU), Paris (CDG), and Zurich (ZRH) in 2026.
These new services aim to tap into the growing appeal of Lapland and northern Finland as a popular winter travel destination.
