Finnair has announced a very sweet partnership with fine Finnish food, café, bakery and confectionery brand Fazer.
If you’re not already familiar with Fazer you are truly missing out on delectable treats. Beyond the traditional Fazermint, the company produces a large mix of sweet and savoury snacks with a unique end of flavours, appealing to all.
The company follows the quality tradition of its founder Karl Fazer, who opened a refined French-Russian confectionary café in Helsinki in 1891.
Fazer will be providing the catering and customer services for all three Finnair lounges at Helsinki Airport starting on July 1.
