The long-awaited flights connecting Busan to Europe will begin in late March next year.

Finnair announced that the flight connecting Helsinki and Gimhae International Airport will run three times a week, the first long-distance flight connecting Busan and Europe.

It’s scheduled to take place 2 1/2 years after first being announced and also postponed due to COVID-19.

The flight will use an A350 aircraft and specific flight details, including the schedule and number of flights will be determined early next year after consultations with quarantine authorities and related organizations.
