The New Silk Road
Finnair's success story in Asian traffic continues. The company offers via Helsinki over 4 500 connections per week between Europe and Asia. Last year over 700,000 passengers took advantage of these connections. Flights will be increased to existing destinations and one or two new destinations added each year; in 2006 flights will begin to Nagoya in Japan and Delhi in India. The opening of one new Asian route increases the network with over 80 new connections.
As a market area, Asia presents huge opportunities both for Finnair and its customers. Traffic between Asia and Europe is growing at seven per cent per year. Finnair offers the fastest and shortest links between the continents.
Eastern traffic has been a success for Finnair, so Asia has been chosen as the theme of this annual report. Through pictures, words and figures we will explain how the company has created a new Silk Road. |
