Discover Airlines, a leisure airline part of the Lufthansa group, will begin its first route in Finland with year-round scheduled flights from Frankfurt, Germany to Kittilä Airport, said country´s airports operator Finavia in a press release on Monday.

Discover Airlines (formerly Eurowings Discover) will operate the Frankfurt-Kittilä route twice a week during the winter season 2024-2025 beginning from December 17.

In May the flights will be operated only once a week.

Route will be operated with a 180-seat Airbus A320−200 aircraft.

“We are actively working with our partners to develop them and the new year-round route to Kittilä after decades in the summer season 2025 is a significant achievement in the development of year-round tourism in Lapland,” said Petri Vuori, Finavia’s Senior Vice President responsible for route development.
