Finnair has confirmed it will operate daily flights to Melbourne via Bangkok from October 2026, entering the lucrative Australian market for first time.
The service will operate with Airbus A350-900 aircraft. Flights will offer connections to 90 European destinations.
Pasi Kuusisto, area vice president shared “We are excited to launch service to a new continent, offering seamless connections from Melbourne to Northern Europe and beyond. Our extensive network, and especially strong offering across the Nordics and Baltics, provides excellent options for both Australian leisure and business travellers.”
Lorie Argus, Melbourne Airport CEO shared “Travel is what connects us and brings people together, so we’re pleased to have Finnair launching daily services connecting Melbourne to Bangkok, Helsinki and beyond. Helsinki is one of Europe’s most innovative cities and Finland is regularly voted one of the happiest countries in the world, so to have a daily connection with one of the world’s most liveable cities means there is plenty at either end for people to explore and discover.”
