A second route to Lapland is to be opened by Finnair from Gatwick for the winter.
The airline is to serve Kittilä in addition to a previously announced new service to Ivalo.
The new direct service will link Gatwick and Kittilä weekly from December 12 until March 20, 2018.
Flights will be operated by an Airbus A320 on Tuesdays.
Return fares from Gatwick to Kittilä start at £169 and £155 to Ivalo.
Finnair UK, Ireland and Benelux general manager Andrew Fish said: “There is increased interest towards Finland and especially Lapland as tourist destinations, and we are excited to be able to offer this new non-stop service from London direct to Kittilä in addition to the Ivalo service.”
Finnair is also expanding capacity to several airports in Lapland for winter 2017-18.
Four weekly frequencies to Rovaniemi from Helsinki are being added between January 1 and March 24, on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, bringing the route up to five times daily.
Kuusamo will see 23% growth in seat capacity with three additional weekly frequencies operating on Mondays, Saturdays and Sundays. These flights will be operated mostly with Embraer 190 aircraft.
A daily triangle service, which was operated between Helsinki, Ivalo and Kittilä in the afternoon during the last winter season, will now be operated as non-stop flights on both the Helsinki-Ivalo and Helsinki-Kittilä routes. The flights will be operated with a mix of Airbus aircraft.
The airline’s chief commercial officer, Juha Järvinen, said: “Lapland has been attracting hundreds of thousands of international tourists every year and the interest continues to grow steadily.
“The past winter seasons have been particularly successful and we have increased our winter capacity to Lapland by nearly 140,000 seats over the past four years.”
