With the total solar eclipse in North America, geomagnetic storms making the northern lights visible in unexpected US locations from Alabama to California, plus an aurora borealis that’s predicted to be at its most active now until 2026, travelers are increasingly taking inspiration from what feel like once-in-a-lifetime natural phenomena. Some are seeking cooler European summers, too.
That’s all promising for Finnair Oyj, Finland’s flag carrier, as it taps into these growing trends to draw more tourists this summer.
