British Airways has expanded its codeshare with Finnair, a fellow oneworld alliance member, which is targeting more customers in the Channel Islands and Gibraltar.
The expanded agreement will see Finnair add its code to an additional seven of BA’s domestic routes.
The additional routes are to London Heathrow from Aberdeen, Belfast City, Gibraltar, Inverness, Jersey, Manchester and Newcastle, which can be booked directly with Finnair. From Heathrow, Finnair offers connections to Helsinki and beyond.
Finnair Market Director Europe Anssi Partanen said: “Over the past few years, we have seen a growing demand for our flights to Helsinki and beyond from destinations across not only the UK, but also the Channel Islands and Gibraltar.
“Therefore, we are extremely excited to be expanding our codeshare with British Airways, to ensure customers travelling from across the country can enjoy seamless connectivity onto Finnair’s flights from London.
“With the ability to now book end-to-end journeys with Finnair, while also collecting Avios as a British Airways Executive Club Member, we know this move will prove popular with customers planning their long and short-haul getaways for 2025.”
The move follows a 50% expansion of Finnair’s flights from London to Helsinki in late 2024, to six flights a day.
