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.
