NEW budget flights direct from Edinburgh to Finland were announced today.
Low-cost Danish carrier Sterling will take holidaymakers from the Capital to Helsinki from the end of March next year.
Prices for the twice-weekly service - beginning on March 30 - will start from £54 each way. The move comes just months after Finnair announced it will also introduce a similar service next summer, giving Scots access to their extensive network of routes across Asia.
Edinburgh Airport's managing director, Richard Jeffrey, said: "We have long been focused on increasing the number of international routes available to and from our capital city.
"This new service is just the latest in a series of exciting announcements that shows this hard work is really paying off. Helsinki is not just one of the fastest-growing financial centres but also a great place for holidaymakers to visit.
"This new service will further improve Scotland's connectivity with Europe and help the effort to bring more visitors to the Capital and to Scotland as a whole."
Finnish tourist board director Anne Lind added: "The opening of these routes is excellent news for Helsinki and for other parts of Finland, as well."
