Finnair has decided to suspend its route to Mumbai in India temporarily from
May until mid-October.

The decision was made due to the unfavourable economic conditions affecting
both passenger and cargo sales in India and Europe. There is also overcapacity
on Mumbai-Europe routes

Itillegg har Finnair sluppet tall for Februar og det er spesielt innenriks og Europatrafikken som stuper, men en nedgang i RPK på henholdsvis 17,7% og 11,8%. Itillegg er det SAS-takter over belegget her hvor man er på 58,1% på innenriks og 60,6% på Europarutene. IC holder seg derimot bedre og drar opp kabinfaktoren til 70,2% totalt

At the beginning of February, traffic growth figures were still fairly strong, but they weakened towards the end of the month. The weakening of demand was partly due to the pilots' threatened strike scheduled for the last week of February. The average price was clearly below last year's level, because business travel continues to fall, says Finnair SVP Communications Christer Haglund.
