New direct route between Luxembourg and Helsinki, bringing the two capitals even closer

On Thursday, 2 July, the Luxembourgish airline Luxair launched the new route between Luxembourg and the Finnish capital, Helsinki. At the arrival, Luxair’s Chief Commercial Officer, Thomas Fischer, the Honorary Consul of Luxembourg in Finland, Christoffer Waselius, and Senior Vice President, Route Development, Finavia, Petri Vuori delivered speeches at the arrival of the flight. The inaugural service departed Helsinki on Thursday morning, establishing a direct air link between the two European capitals for the first time in Luxair’s history. The airline will operate the route twice weekly, on Mondays and Thursdays, using its new Embraer E195-E2 aircraft. Passengers on the first flight were treated to refreshments to mark the occasion. As mentioned on the Finavia website, the route also opens up a wide range of onward travel opportunities for passengers departing from Finland via Luxembourg Airport, particularly to popular destinations in Southern Europe.

This new connection by Luxair testifies of the strong links between the Grand Duchy and the Nordic region. The Helsinki service expands Luxair’s Nordic network, complementing its existing routes to Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm.
