Finnair to fly Angry Birds to Singapore

“This avian alliance is one example of Finnair’s creative, fresh way of operating. Finnair is a significant player in traffic between Asia and Europe, and our goal is to double the number of Asian flights to 140 flights per week by 2020. It’s great to be involved in bringing Finnish innovation to Asia,” says Jarkko Konttinen, Vice President, Global Brand & Marketing Communications, Finnair.

“Although the Angry Birds have already flown almost everywhere in the world, the trip to Singapore will be the birds’ longest continuous flight to date. The Angry Birds game has been downloaded to various platforms over 350 million times, and we are delighted to be able to bring new Angry Birds games and experiences to a growing fan base,” says Peter Vesterbacka, Rovio’s Mighty Eagle and Marketing Director.

The five most popular fans and 2-3 favourites selected by a jury will be awarded flight tickets to Singapore. During the flight, the Angry Birds fans and other flight passengers will be able to participate in a competition on games consoles distributed to passengers and specially programmed for this event. The winner of the competition, to be played at an altitude of ten kilometres, will become the proud holder of the very first Angry Birds Asian Challenge title.

A real live Angry Bird will also be present on the flight.
