Great news if true, I'm sure they would have no problems filling an A319LR, despite AY's network in Asia.
Personally, I think opening p Helsinki with a large aircraft is the better option--as it would create an incentive for people to travel with QR rather than AY. A lot of tourists from Qatar and the GCC visit Finland and opening this new route will bring up tourism.
