Finnair and the Italian airline Meridiana will start cooperating within the
framework of a reciprocal code-share agreement on flights between Helsinki and
Italy as of June 22.
The new agreement means that Finnair can offer its passengers connections to
Cagliari and Olbia in Sardinia, Palermo in Sicily, and Florence, to which
Meridiana flies from the Finnair destinations of Amsterdam, Rome Fiumicino, and
Paris Charles de Gaulle.
Palermo and Cagliari are the capital cities of Sicily and Sardinia
respectively. Olbia is located close to the popular Costa Smeralda area on
Sardinia’s northern coast, which has many magnificent beaches, high quality
tourism services and golf courses. The Renaissance buildings and treasures of
Florence make the city one of Europe’s most popular tourist destinations.
The route network offered by Meridiana will also expand through the code-share
agreement, with the company now offering connections to Helsinki from Rome and
Milan as well as from the Finnair summer destinations of Pisa and Venice.
“Italy is a very popular travel destination, both for Finnair’s Finnish
customers and for passengers using our Asian route network. The code-share
agreement means that we can now offer a wider range of convenient connections
to Italy,” says Vice President Hannu Sundberg, who is responsible for Finnair’s
code-share agreements.
