On August 2, 2010, Finncomm Airlines announced it will stop its service between Helsinki and Jyväskylä on August 16, 2010.[5] However the break was very short as Finnair and Finncomm reached an agreement on September 2010 that Finncomm will take over several Finnair's domestic routes. As a result of that, Finnair stopped its flights to Jyväskylä in late October 2010 and Finncomm started to operate those flights as co-operation with Finnair.[6]

On September 9, 2011, Finnair announced that they will end flights to Jyväskylä, the last flight will be operated on October 29, 2011. Finnair flights to Jyväskylä has been operated by Finncomm Airlines. Finnair has been responsible for ticket sales on the route, Finncomm being solely the operator. [7] After the joint acquisition of Finncomm Airlines by Finnair and FlyBe Nordic, it was announced that the link to Helsinki would be taken over by the new FlyBe Nordic on 30 October.[8]
