Finnair and its oneworld alliance partner Australian airline Qantas start codesharing on flights between Helsinki and Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Sydney via Singapore and Helsinki and Sydney via Bangkok. The cooperation begins via Bangkok in February 2011 and via Singapore in May 2011, when Finnair commences its daily operations to Singapore.

“Thanks to this expanded cooperation, Finnair will be able to offer its customers a wide range of destinations in Australia and for its Australian customers more choices when travelling to Europe,” says Mika Perho, Senior Vice President Commercial Division.

The cooperation flights have both Finnair and Qantas flight numbers and are flown via Singapore or Bangkok. Finnair can sell the Qantas operated flights under its own flight number.
