The morning HEL-MAN rotation on AY does also get quite a lot of traffic connecting to the AA departure to ORD - there's even an AA codeshare. That's a great connection by the way - far superior to and smoother than anything that LHR can offer. With AA introducing MAN-JFK next summer this traffic might still grow further.
HEL-CDG gets a lot of AF feeder pax due to the codeshare as well. I think this will actually eat more into KF's passengers than AY. Still I hope for a limited price war to reap all the benefits...
