Estonian Air to Offer Flights to Jyväskylä

Posted 05/09/2011

Estonian Air will introduce the first international scheduled link into Jyväskylä, the capital of Central Finland and the largest city on the Finnish Lakeland.  The Baltic carrier will add a daily weekday flight and twice daily weekend service to the rapidly expanding city from its Tallinn base from March 25, 2012. 

“The schedule allows the customers good connections via Tallinn to Scandinavia, CIS, Benelux and Baltic countries.” said Tero Taskila, President and Chief Executive Officer, Estonian Air. “Opening the Jyväskylä-Tallinn route is our first step in moving into Finnish market.”

Finncomm Airlines currently offers the only other scheduled air connection to Jyväskylä with an up to five times daily service from the Finnish capital Helsinki.  This route will be taken over by Flybe Nordic from the start of the Northern Winter schedules at the end of October. 

The new air service will bring new opportunities to Central Finland increasing the range of travel alternatives available to people in the region.  "Jyväskylä is one of Finland’s most significant urban regions,” explained Markku Andersson, Mayor of Jyväskylä, “and, continued growth in air travel sends a positive message that our area is attractive and interesting.”
