Finnair strengthens its network in the Nordics, adding flights to popular Nordic cities and opens a new route to Alta in Northern Norway. Finnair will fly to Alta via Kittilä five times a week from 29th of March to 22nd of October, 2026. The flight will be operated with a 68-seat ATR aircraft. Known for its arctic nature, versatile outdoor activities and northern lights, Alta has also grown in popularity as a cruise ship destination in recent years.
In addition to Alta, Finnair adds Tromsø to its summer network, flying to this coastal city in Norway five times a week from Helsinki via Rovaniemi in summer of 2026. Until now, the tag flight, operated with an ATR aircraft, has only been operated in the winter. Finnair also adds flights from Ivalo to Kirkenes to five weekly frequencies in summer 2026, two frequencies more than this summer.
“Northern destinations increasingly attract travelers seeking authentic nature experiences also in the summer. Our network, extending through Lapland to Northern Norway, offers our customers a convenient way to experience several Nordic destinations within one trip, and you can also combine the trip with, for example, a cruise in the Norwegian coast,” says Perttu Jolma, Finnair’s Vice President, Network.
Finnair will also add frequencies to Nordic capitals for the summer of 2026. Stockholm and Copenhagen will get seven, and Reykjavik two additional weekly frequencies.
During the busiest summer holiday season from June to early August, Finnair will fly to Billund, Visby and Bodø*, and adds also two weekly frequencies to Mariehamn in the Åland island. It will also be easier than ever to enjoy the spring skiing season in Lapland, as the weekly frequencies to Ivalo and Kittilä will be increased for April 2026.
