A Finnish airline has announced increased frequency on one of its London Heathrow Airport routes.

Blue1, part of the SAS Group, is set to add another flight to its route from London to Helsinki.

From April 26th, the carrier will operate two daily flights between the travel hubs in a bid to provide convenient departure and return times for commuting business workers.

The outbound service will leave Heathrow at 08:05 GMT and arrive in Finland at 13:00, while the inbound service will take off from Helsinki at 20:05 and arrive in London at 21:15.

In order to promote the new schedule, Blue1 is offering a ten per cent discount on its economy extra seating until July 15th.

Economy extra offers business class check-in facilities, flexible fares and a complimentary meal with drinks and also enables travellers to build up frequent flyers points.

The SAS Group offers passengers a free 20kg baggage allowance and no check-in fees.
