Finnair will resume its Gran Canaria-Helsinki route from 2 October, with a daily flight, departing from Gran Canaria at 13:45 and from Finland at 08:05. This will be the fourth Spanish destination that the airline will connect with daily flights to the Finnish capital to meet demand in the south of Gran Canaria.
The airline operates this route with the Airbus A350-900, recently added to its fleet, number 18 of a total of 19 aircraft ordered from Airbus in 2015. This is the most modern and efficient aircraft model in Finnair's fleet, which has renovated the cabins of all its aircraft of the same model. In addition, Finnair flights from Gran Canaria will connect, via Helsinki, with Finnair's destinations in Tokyo (at Haneda and Narita airports) and Osaka, and Nagoya in the summer. From Spain, Finnair flies daily to Helsinki from Barcelona, Madrid, Malaga, now Gran Canaria, and with two weekly frequencies from Alicante, and via Helsinki, to all domestic destinations, such as Lapland, and international destinations in Asia and America.
After a summer season with a record number of passengers transported in July, Norwegian is once again boosting its growth in the Spanish market in the winter of 2024/25. The Norwegian low-cost airline will offer routes to or from Gran Canaria, one of its most popular routes that it will offer this winter with the most interesting Nordic destinations for winter holidays: Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland.
In fact, Norwegian's commitment to these key routes and the Spanish market has enabled a 20% increase in the available capacity that the company is putting on sale for passengers travelling to or from Spain in the coming months. "This is significant data that demonstrates Norwegian's increasingly firm commitment to its growth in our country, offering travel possibilities both to Nordic tourists who wish to visit Gran Canaria and to Canarian passengers who want to discover the treasures that northern Europe has to offer them," said Geir Karlsen, CEO of Norwegian.
