Finnair introduces new destinations for summer 2026: Catania, Florence and Valencia; scheduled flights also to Kos

New Delhi, 29 August 2025: Finnair strengthens its Southern European network and starts scheduled flights to Catania, Florence, Valencia and the Greek island Kos in summer 2026*. Catania, Florence and Valencia are new destinations, while Kos has been previously operated as a charter flight. 

"Italy, Spain, and Greece are particularly popular with our Finnish and Northern European customers during the summer months. The new destinations complement our Southern European network, offering both beach holidays and culture, and the travel period extends from spring to autumn,” says Christine Rovelli, Finnair's Chief Revenue Officer.

Next summer, Finnair will fly twice a week to Florence, Italy's all-time favorite and the home of art history, and three times a week to Catania, on the island of Sicily, showcasing the authentic southern Italian way of life. There will also be two weekly departures to Spain’s third biggest city, Valencia, and the island of Kos, known for its sandy beaches. 

Finnair has a strong offering of Southern European destinations in summer 2026. In Italy, Finnair also flies to Rome, Milan, Naples, Venice, Verona and Bologna; in Spain to Madrid, Malaga, Alicante, Barcelona, Palma, and Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, and Lanzarote on the Canary Islands; and in Greece to Chania, Heraklion, Rhodes and Santorini.
