Quotes from Finnair Group Press Releases:
Finnair plans flights to Yekaterinburg - More flights to Moscow and St. Petersburg

Finnair is planning to begin scheduled flights next autumn from Helsinki to Yekaterinburg, located in the Urals. In air transport agreement negotiations between Russia and Finland it was also agreed that the number of Finnair and Aeroflot joint flights to and from Moscow will rise in April to four per day, and that the number of St. Petersburg flights operated by Finnair in cooperation with the airline Rossiya will rise to 22 per week.

Finnair plans to fly to Yekaterinburg three times per week. The city is the main centre of the Urals Federal District with good connections to all parts of the vast region of Siberia.

In 2009 the companies intend to fly between Helsinki and St. Petersburg four times per day, i.e. 28 times per week, similar to the arrangement between Helsinki and Moscow.



Mumbai & Hongkong (this one available in Finnish only at the moment)

- An additional weekly BOM flight (HEL-BOM Friday, BOM-HEL Saturday) starting 1st June 2008

- HEL-HKG-HEL goes daily starting 26 April. (Though this is old news, I think)
