Finnair starts a route to Norway's second biggest city Bergen on May 22. The company flies to Bergen daily until September 29, except on Wednesdays and Sundays. “The main reason for the opening of a summer route to Bergen is high tourism demand from Asia, particularly from Japan, directed at Norway's renowned fjord area. There is also interest in the new route from America and the southern European countries”, says Finnair's Vice President Route Strategy and Traffic Planning Petteri Kostermaa. For Finns, too, the new route offers a fast and convenient way of reaching Norway's number one tourist destination. Finnair flies to Oslo four times a day on weekdays and three times a day at the weekend.
