Finnair is temporarily cutting the number of its flights between Helsinki
and Beijing due, it says, to SARS, which has brought down the demand of flights to China.
In May, seven flights between Helsinki and Beijing will be cancelled. The
passengers will be transferred to other Finnair flights.
In June, Finnair will operate three weekly flights on Mondays, Wednesdays
and Fridays from June 2 to June 30. Flights from Beijing to Helsinki depart
on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
In July, Finnair will operate four weekly flights on Mondays, Wednesdays,
Fridays and Sundays from July 1 to July 31. The return flights from Beijing
to Helsinki depart the following day.
Finnair flights between Helsinki and Beijing will return to the published
timetable as of August 2003. |
