Flybe in tie-up with Finnair

FINNAIR has announced an unlikely collaborator for regional services in the Scandinavian and Baltic Sea area, Britain’s Flybe.  Oneworld Finnair partner British Airways is a 15% shareholder in Flybe which is heavily committed to a relationship with Air France.  Both airlines operate Embraer e-series aircraft with Flybe at Farnborough announcing an order that could take its fleet up to well over 100 aircraft.  The co-operation will begin 31 October 2010 with Flybe commencing services to key Scandinavian and Baltic markets from Helsinki that will include Tallinn, Tampere and Turku.  This service provision is expected to grow beyond three aircraft in the summer of 2011. ww.flybe.com www.finnair.com
