Via Helsinki is good for the environment
Passengers can save up to 10 % in carbon dioxide emissions by choosing a direct flight route. Finnair and Helsinki Airport offer passengers direct, fast connections between Europe and Asia. The viahelsinki.com website now allows passengers to calculate fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions in addition to comparing travel times on routes between Europe and Asia either via Helsinki or through other European cities.
Helsinki Airport is located on the Great Circle Route between Europe and Asia, meaning that it is always on the way. Thanks to the geographical location of its hub and its modern fleet, Finnair passengers save time, fuel and cut emissions by flying via Helsinki. For instance, passengers flying from Berlin to Seoul save over 10 % in carbon dioxide emissions by flying via Helsinki rather than through Frankfurt.
Finnair’s route network includes 11 major Asian cities: Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya in Japan, Mumbai and Delhi in India, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou in China, Bangkok in Thailand and as its newest destination, Seoul in South Korea.
As a transfer point, Helsinki Airport offers quick, hassle-free transfers and a wide variety of services, including wine bars, cafes, restaurants and boutiques focused on Finnish design. The airport is building a new terminal extension to accommodate growing Asian traffic and Finnair will open a luxurious Spa and Wellness centre there in autumn 2009 adjacent to its new via.Helsinki Lounge.
The viahelsinki.com website allows passengers to compare flight distances, time, calculate their emissions and book tickets on Finnair. The site also offers information on Helsinki Airport services.
