Qatar Airways has also signed a new codeshare agreement with Finland’s flag carrier Finnair, which sees the Gulf carrier place its code on Finnair flights from Helsinki to Tallinn and Tartu (Estonia), Riga (Latvia), Vilnius (Lithuania), Billund (Denmark), and Stockholm-Bromma Airport (Sweden).
At the same time Finnair will place its code on routes from Helsinki to Doha and beyond to Manama, (Bahrain), Muscat (Oman), Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban (South Africa), Malé (Maldives), Mahé, (Seychelles – effective December 12 when operations commence), and Colombo (Sri Lanka).
