Finland’s national airline has flown passengers to HEL on Flight 666 for 11 years, with 21 of these flights on the “unluckiest” day of the year, a spokesman for the airline told RT.
While the journey may be the worst nightmare of superstitious people, the airline says it has never affected passenger numbers.
