Jul 29, 2020 (newstodate): Qatar Airways is now returning to Helsinki after the lock-down.
   Starting from today, July 29, the carrier is offering three weekly rotations on the route between Doha and Helsinki with Airbus A350-900 aircraft.
   Qatar Airways is thus now back at all four Nordic capital airports with a total of 22 weekly rotations on routes from Qatar already comprising daily flights to Oslo and Stockholm and five weekly flights to Copenhagen.
   Qatar Airways has been online at Helsinki Airport since October 10, 2016, and planned for two daily services during this summer schedule, which was brought down to three weekly flights due to the corona outbreak.
   Qatar Airways launched services from Qatar to Scandinavia with Stockholm as its first destination from November 27, 2007, adding flights from Qatar to Copenhagen from March 30, 2010, and to Oslo from October 5, 2011, rounding off in the Nordic region with flights to Helsinki, Finland, from October 10, 2016, and finally adding its 5th Nordic, and 2nd Swedish destination, Gothenburg, from December 18, 2018.

   During the pandemic, in addition to scheduled passenger services, Qatar Airways Cargo has also operated a large number of scheduled freighters, charters and freight-only passenger aircraft to Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Gothenburg and Helsinki to support Nordic exporters and transport essential medical supplies and PPE to the region.

   With the resumption of passenger flights to Helsinki, the airline will operate 39 weekly flights to the Nordic region, providing more than 1400 tonnes of weekly cargo capacity each way.
