Ahead of the summer season 2026, Finnair is to expand at Stockholm Arlanda Airport and Umeå Airport with one and two new destinations respectively. In addition to their existing offer from Stockholm Arlanda, Finnair will start operating Stavanger in Norway and from Umeå Airport, they will operate Vasa and Helsinki.
Finnair continues to grow its European network and adds three new destinations to its offering for summer 2026 from Swedavias airports. Stavanger, in western Norway, will be operated from Stockholm Arlanda, further strengthening the connection between the two countries. Finnair also responds to the demand for routes to and from northern Sweden by adding routes to Vasa and Helsinki from Umeå Airport. The new routes will strengthen the connectivity to and from Sweden, further enhancing access to the Nordic region.
- Finnair’s investment in additional direct routes from both Stockholm Arlanda Airport and Umeå Airport is a clear sign of the continued high demand for international travel to and from Sweden. The new routes will play an important role in further connecting the Nordic region to Sweden, says Elizabeth Axtelius, Director Aviation Business at Swedavia. Finnair plays an important role in achieving Swedavia's goal of enabling people to meet – whether for business trips, holidays or visits to family and friends, she continues.
Starting on March 29, 2026, Finnair will operate Stockholm Arlanda Airport (ARN) – Stavanger (SVG) with daily departures.
