During 2002, Finnair's leisure flights flew to more than 60 destinations in the Mediterranean region, the Canary Islands and the Far East. The Aurinkomatkat destination of Fortaleza in Brazil was added to the flight programme. Traffic to the Caribbean, on the other hand, was discontinued due to insufficient demand.

In the summer season, when demand in Finland is lower than in winter, the free capacity of two aircraft was leased with pilots to a UK leisure flight operator for traffic between the UK and Mediterranean destinations.

Leisure Flight Operations

Every Finnish tour operator has used Finnair's leisure flight services. Our market share has remained high, at an average level of more than 80 per cent.

The Leisure Flights unit has shifted to using mainly one type of aircraft; an MD-11 wide-bodied aircraft previously used for leisure flights was transferred to scheduled passenger traffic at the beginning of 2002. The leisure flight fleet now consists of seven Boeing B757 aircraft, two of which were acquired in spring 2002. Finnair's B757 fleet has one of the highest daily utilization rates in the world.
