MAY 26, 2003 (newstodate): In June, Finnair will cut three weekly flights on the Helsinki-Bangkok route.
At the same time onward flights from Bangkok to Singapore and Hong Kong will also be cut, the airline says on Monday.
- Demand for the Bangkok route is very weak in June. We are directing demand to a smaller frequency of flights meaning that we can keep the route profitable, says Petteri Kostermaa, Finnair Vice President, Network Strategies and
Management.
-Cargo demand for Bangkok, Singapore and Hong Kong is still high, but this is not enough to keep the route in the black with the current
number of frequencies, says Mr Kostermaa.
Last week Finnair changed the number of Beijing flights to one weekly from the original five weekly flights. The new Osaka route will be launched at the beginning of June and plans for opening the Shanghai route are going ahead. In addition, there will be three weekly flights to Tokyo during the summer months instead of the normal two flights.
