As someone who commutes a few times each week between Helsinki and Tallinn, I was taken aback by this event. I am in Tallinn today heading for St. Petersburg and then on to Helsinki via cruise ship. Working between the two cities (Helsinki and Tallinn) is incredibly easy because of the number of affordable, timely options. I rarely take Copterline unless I have same-day meeting in the two cities. The heliports used by Copterline in both cities are adjacent to the cruise ports (50m in Helsinki and 200m in Tallinn), and with 18 minute commutes it is effortless. However as PresRDC stated, at 50-70 Euros each way, it is not the cheapest alternative. Tallinnk drops me at the same harbors in Helsinki and Tallinn as the cruise ships at a fraction of the cost.

It’s incredibly sad news.
