Starting sept 15 Finnair will codeshare most of Braathens Regional Airlines (TF, previous Malmö aviation) flights. Not only codeshare, but also a promise to "connect new cities with Finnairs network", and hopefully this means a coordinated fare structure (ie so that a MMX-TYO won't cost twice as much as a GOT-TYO). If so, this will make BMA sort of a swedish hub, serving VBY, AGH, SDL, THN, KLR, RNB, VXO, HAD and OSD with a sweden-BMA-HEL-Asia. Two stop connections are obviously not as good as one-stop, and in this aspect it is a bit sad that AY still only serves STO and GOT with direct HEL flights.
HEL-UME will also be sold as TF in the future (today it is sold as AY op by TF only)
