Brightsun Airline Partners ::FINNAIR

About Finnair
Finnair, the flag carrier of Finland and widely recognised as the industry's IT leader, joined oneworld® in September 1999. It claims to be the fifth oldest airline in the world, tracing its origins to Aero, established in 1923.

Network
Today, Finnair operates scheduled services to more than 60 destinations in approaching 30 countries, including 16 points in Finland. In recent years, it has refocused its longhaul operations on Asian routes - with its Helsinki hub ideally located geographically as a gateway between Asia and Europe. It now carries more traffic on these Asian services (measured in revenue passenger kilometres) than on its European network.

Codeshare Partners

In 2002, Finnair resurrected the Aero name, when it launched a new airline subsidiary operating out of Tallinn in Estonia. During 2003, it also acquired a controlling stake in Swedish carrier Nordic Airlink, which it has transformed into a low fares carrier to compete with Star's Scandinavian in its home market. Neither of these two subsidiaries are affiliated to oneworld.
