About
A low-cost wing of SAS (Scandinavian Airlines System), Blue1 flies to an impressive eight destinations in Finland and a smattering of other Nordic cities (Copenhagen, Gothenburg, Oslo, and Stockholm) as well as 14 Western and Central European destinations. Blue1 is the second biggest airline in Finland.
Blue1 is definitely #1 for travel to Finland's north. No other budget airline flies to destinations beyond Helsinki and Tampere.
