Turkish Airlines’ direct flight route from Istanbul to Rovaniemi, Lapland, Finland, is now confirmed for the season 2019-2020. The first flight will depart from Istanbul on 5th December 2019.
The new route is historical in two ways: It’s the first direct connection to Lapland and Rovaniemi, and Turkish Airlines will be the first airline to fly travellers to Rovaniemi in business class.
