An airline's new route to Mumbai will open up further links to the Indian city from the UK. Finnair flights from its base in Helsinki to the city on the Indian west coast will begin this weekend and have been specifically timed to allow easy connections with London Heathrow, Manchester, Edinburgh and Dublin.
Flights to the iconic destination will initially operate three times a week, increasing to four times weekly in November. Customers will experience Finnair’s state-of-the-art A330, which offers a choice of flying in Business Class or Economy Class.
The new route to Mumbai marks the start of Finnair’s second service to India, with the carrier already flying daily to India’s capital, New Delhi. Sakari Romu, Finnair’s general manager for India, said: “We are very excited to start our operations from Mumbai.
“Our three-weekly flights serve our customers not only in providing a connection to Finland but also to our network in the US and major European cities.”
Return flights from London to Mumbai start from £481 in Economy Class and £1,505 in Business Class (including all taxes and charges). Flights will depart Helsinki at 5.55pm, arriving into Mumbai at 5.15am the following day. The return flight departs the Indian city at 7.10am, arriving into Finnair’s home at 2.05pm.
Finnair ensures a smooth and easy connection for customers between flights in Helsinki, with transfers from as little as 35 minutes, thanks to all services operating from the same innovative world-class terminal.
