In 2025, Finnair is adding flights to Lapland during Easter weeks and Autumn, providing ski season thrills and gorgeous foliage. There will also be more flights for notable summertime events, providing even more opportunities to explore. That provides easier access to the Nordic country’s northernmost region, including subarctic wilderness, ski resorts, and natural phenomenon like the Northern Lights.

In April, as Easter approaches, there will be more flights to Kuusamo and Rovaniem, as the ski season concludes with prime conditions.

Additional summer flights cater to global adventurers, including the NUTS Karhunkierros trail running event in Ruka in May, June’s Solstice Festival in Ruka, July’s World Orienteering Championships in Kuopio, and Finland’s largest harness racing event, in Oulu, in August.

Fiji Airways' new ATR 72-600s are regional aircraft powered by twin turboprops, with seating for 68. They’re known for excellent fuel efficiency and a low carbon footprint. In addition, they can handle arduous airfields with extreme temperatures, short runways, and more. The airline will mostly use the ATRs on regional routes to the Northern and Western Divisions of Fiji. With time, the carrier plans to add more of them, to serve essential routes to Labasa and Nadi-Suva. The new planes are part of Fiji Airways’ strategy to expand its Nadi hub with improved passenger options, especially on connections between domestic and international destinations.
