Finnair will commence direct flights from Larnaca to Helsinki from April 10 this year, an announcement from the Finnish embassy in Cyprus said Thursday.

The Finnish ambassador to Cyprus, Harri Mäki-Reinikka, and APG Cyprus, Finnair’s General Sales Representative in the island, will give out more details during a news conference slated for April 11 at the ambassador’s residence.

The event will be attended by Transport Minister Yiannis Karousos and the Deputy Minister of Tourism Savvas Perdios, who will discuss ways to increase connectivity, tourism and trade between Finland and Cyprus.

According to a previous announcement by the airline, flights will be via Airbus A320/A321, twice a week, every Tuesday and Sunday, running April 10-October 23, 2022.
