Finnair opens new route to Enontekiö in Finland for Winter 2016

Finnair will operate a new weekly route to Enontekiö in Finland during winter 2016 to take snow sports fans to Lapland.

Enontekiö has around 300km of skiing trails and guarantees the longest skiing season in Finland. It also boasts the chance of seeing the Northern Lights on every 3 out of four nights during winter.

Due to its proximity to the borders of Sweden and Norway, day trips to the two countries are possible.

Finnair will fly every Saturday between Helsinki and Enontekiö with an ATR aircraft for the period February 20 to April 9, 2016 with the following schedule:

AY531 HEL-ENF 07:25-09:40
AY532 ENF-HEL 10:10-12:25

Finnair connects Enontekiö to over 60 destinations via its Helsinki hub.
