Finnair that it will expand its service between Helsinki and Dublin for summer 2016 it was announced today. It will go from a daily service to nine flights a week.
 
This will mean an additional 1,800 seats between the two cities for next summer – helping to boost leisure and business travel from Finland to Dublin and Ireland.
 
Finnair offers excellent connections from Asia – including from Hong Kong and from cities like Beijing and Shanghai in China and Delhi in India – bringing even greater connectivity to Ireland for prospective holidaymakers in those markets. 
 
CEO of Tourism Ireland, Niall Gibbons says, "Today’s announcement by Finnair is more good news for Irish tourism, as we kick off our 2016 promotional drive. Not only will it help grow visitor numbers from Finland, but this expanded service will offer greater connectivity from other important tourism markets, including Asia and the Middle East. 

"We will continue to co-operate with Finnair to maximise the promotion of their service from Helsinki to Dublin. As an island, the importance of convenient and competitive flights cannot be overstated – they are absolutely critical to achieving growth in inbound tourism."
