Nothing to do with Thomas Cook probably, but if you look at the destinations map (the one with SN and Thomas Cook airlines combined) you see that Helsinki will be a destination too.
Is SN going to fly there? Or is it a mistake?

Next time I'll read all the topics! Seems like it's already discussed in another one...
Sorry

Oops, indeed: I copied the first column and forgot the second.
Corrected!

Helsinki is an SN destination through its codeshare with LH via FRA or MUC.

I was a little overenthusiastic by writing that the airline would start the twice weekly flights, that's is not correct: the airline has requested traffic rights between the two airports. And is preparing for a possible flight.

Good to see that Hainan is expanding with two new routes within 8 months. Maybe they put again their former blue print on the table to make of Brussels their European hub.

No LATAM next year to Brussels. New European destinations in 2018 in Europe will be Rome and Lisbon.

Maybe in 2019 more success?
