Finnair flies daily to New Delhi as of 25 September. Thanks to Helsinki’s excellent geographical location on the great circle route, the flight time to Delhi is only 6 hours 30 minutes.
“Our route is the shortest between the EU and India, so it has found wide interest amongst travellers,” says Petteri Kostermaa, Vice President, Networks Strategy and Planning.
Finnair’s route is the only direct connection from Northern Europe to Delhi. The daily route has excellent connections to Delhi from Scandinavia, the Baltic Sea area and all of Northern Europe, with short flight times even from London and Paris.
In the Delhi-Helsinki direction, fast Finnair connections serve around 30 cities in Europe. Delhi, on the other hand, is the main airline hub in India and offers excellent connections to the rest of the country.
Finnair started flights to Delhi in October 2006.
