Finnair

Finnair is canceling the connections between Helsinki and Dubai for the winter season from 25 October 2026 to 27 March 2027 due to ongoing instability in the Middle East. The airline is continuously monitoring the security situation and reserves the right to further adjust routes and operations if needed. Some other carriers have already resumed flights, while others continue to maintain suspensions. » Altro su de.investing.com

Finnair carried a total of 1,243,800 passengers in July 2026, an increase of 9.3% year on year. Revenue passenger kilometers rose by 6.2%, available seat kilometers increased by 3.6%, and the seat load factor was 85.0%. According to the airline, growth was supported by reduced market capacity due to the war in the Middle East; capacity in the region fell to zero in July, while domestic routes showed declines in passenger kilometers. » Altro su de.investing.com

Finnair is in talks with Starlink from SpaceX and Amazon’s Leo service to equip its aircraft with Wi‑Fi and expects to have a plan for the offering later this year. A final decision has not yet been made. Demand on Europe–Asia routes is very strong, while the U.S. route remains unchanged; an ongoing conflict in the Middle East increases the risk of disruptions. » Altro su de.investing.com
