Finnair expands network in Sweden with BRA

Finnair has extended its codeshare operation with Swedish regional airline BRA to cover new routes in Sweden.

Finnair’s AY code has now been added to BRA’s routes between Bromma in Stockholm and Trollhättan, Visby, Kalmar, Rönneby, Angelholm/Helsingborg, Växjö, Sundsvall, Halmstad and Åre/Östersund. In addition, BRA’s code will be added to the Umeå-Helsinki route, which BRA operates for Finnair.

The deepened co-operation between the airlines expands Finnair’s reach in Sweden and connects these Swedish cities via Bromma airport in Stockholm to Finnair’s extensive network, offering new connections to Finnair customers. Finnair offers smooth connections via its Helsinki hub to 17 Asian megacities and three North American destinations, as well approximately 70 European destinations.

Juha Järvinen, Finnair’s chief commercial officer, said: “We are excited about extending the cooperation with BRA, and offering new connections to and from Sweden, which is a key growth market for us.”

Earlier this year Finnair entered into loyalty programme cooperation with BRA, and this month BRA will start operating Umeå-Helsinki route for Finnair. Finnair is also opening a new route to Västerås in Central Sweden, with a codeshare with NextJet.
