Finnair is to add two new destinations in Italy for summer 2026, with Catania and Florence as part of its network expansion to Southern Europe.
“Finnair will operate to a total of eight cities in Italy”
Geoffrey Carrage, Finnair's Regional Manager Southern Europe, said, "With the addition of Florence and Catania to our summer 2026 schedule, Finnair will operate to a total of eight cities in Italy, demonstrating the strong commitment and confidence we place in this market. These new routes will offer passengers not only easier access to Finland's natural wonders during the summer season, but also convenient connections to our extensive global network in Northern Europe, Asia and North America through our efficient hub in Helsinki."
Two weekly flights to Florence and three to Catania
Operations on the Helsinki-Florence route include two flights per week, on Thursdays and Sundays (from 2 April to 18 October 2026) operated by a 100-seat Embraer 190. Catania will also be reachable from Helsinki with three flights per week, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Sundays (from 31 March to 21 October 2026) operated by Airbus A320s and A-319s.
A growing European network
During summer 2026, the Finnish carrier's Italian network will therefore include the cities of Rome, Milan, Naples, Venice, Verona and Bologna; in Spain to Madrid, Malaga, Alicante, Barcelona, Palma, Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote on the Canary Islands; in Greece to Chania, Heraklion, Rhodes and Santorini.
