Finnair in October will increase flights between Helsinki and London Heathrow to six times daily in each direction, up from the current schedule of four times daily.

The two additional daily services will depart Heathrow at 09:55 and 13:10, arriving in Helsinki at 14:45 and 18:00 respectively. On the return journey, the new flights will depart Helsinki at 10:55 and 21:25, arriving in London at 12:10 and 22:40 respectively.

The two new daily flights will be operated by Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft and will be offered throughout the upcoming winter season as well as during summer 2025.

Finnair’s market director in the UK, Anssi Partanen, said: “We are incredibly excited to be boosting capacity between London and Helsinki, deepening ties between the UK and Finland.

“These new flights are also timed to give our customers increased choice and flexibility when travelling during the peak morning and evening periods and will facilitate even smoother connections onto our network in Northern Europe and the Far East.”
