Finnair, Finland’s flagship carrier, has upgraded its digital offering for loyal Finnair Plus members, unveiling a complimentary inflight messaging service on all European routes operated by its modern Airbus single-aisle fleet.
This innovative amenity allows travelers to stay seamlessly connected at cruising altitude, supporting real-time text communication through popular platforms such as WhatsApp, Viber, KakaoTalk, WeChat, and iMessage.
Finnair Plus members can now enjoy this free messaging service throughout their entire journey, enhancing productivity and keeping them in touch with colleagues, friends, and family.
Anssi Partanen, Finnair’s Market Director for the UK and Ireland, notes that the demand for reliable inflight connectivity continues to soar, and this new benefit is designed to exceed the expectations of frequent travelers.
