[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Je-hoon] Finnair has decided to adjust its schedule for launching flights at Gimhae International Airport to July due to the impact of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). This means that the launch of long-haul routes departing from Gimhae Airport will also be postponed for the time being.


Finnair announced on the 4th that it will postpone its planned launch in Busan on the 31st to July 2nd, and the Seoul?Helsinki route will be temporarily suspended until April 17th.


Accordingly, Finnair will individually contact passengers who have booked the suspended flights to assist with rescheduling or refunds. For the Seoul route, date changes are possible until the end of June, and for the Busan route, until the end of September. Full refunds are also available for those who wish to cancel their tickets.



Kim Dong-hwan, head of Finnair's Korea branch, said, "We apologize for the inconvenience caused to Finnair customers by this decision," adding, "We will closely monitor the COVID-19 situation and actively strive to minimize passenger inconvenience."
