Valencia will have its first direct air connection to Helsinki in the summer of 2026, thanks to the opening of a new Finnair route. The Finnish airline announced Tuesday that it will add the cities of Catania, Florence, Valencia and the Greek island of Kos to its regular network of southern European destinations.
The carrier will operate twice weekly frequencies between Helsinki and Valencia from April 11 to October 24, 2026, within the summer air season.
“Italy, Spain and Greece are especially popular with our customers from Finland and Northern Europe during the summer months. The new routes complement our network, offering both beach vacations and cultural offerings, and extending the travel period from spring to autumn,” said Christine Rovelli, Finnair’s chief revenue officer.
The airline will also fly twice a week to Florence and Kos, and three times a week to Catania, reinforcing its presence in the south of the continent. Currently, Finnair already serves other Spanish cities such as Madrid, Barcelona, Malaga, Alicante, Palma de Mallorca and several airports in the Canary Islands.
