PRESS RELEASE: Finnair wins top points from Skytrax in Northern Europe

Finnair has been named as Best Airline in Northern Europe, ahead of Norwegian and SAS, in the 2010 Skytrax World Airline Awards. More than 40 airlines from around the world assembled at the World Airline Awards in Hamburg on 20th May 2010 to receive their accolades, which were handed out by Mr Edward Plaisted, Chairman of Skytrax. The award winners are selected by the airline industry's most important audience - its customers. Skytrax is widely regarded as an accurate and reliable independent monitor of public travelling preferences, and that makes this an especially satisfying award.

Air passengers have chosen Finnair as the Best Airline in Northern Europe in the 2010 independent Skytrax survey. About 18 million passengers from some 100 different countries contributed to the Skytrax research, which was carried out between July 2009 and April 2010.

“The customer is more important than anything to us, so we are absolutely delighted at our customers’ feedback,” says Christer Haglund, Senior Vice President, Corporate Communications, who received the award in Hamburg on Finnair’s behalf. “This confirms that our product is already at the very highest level in world terms. Of course we want to keep developing our service to make it even better.”
