Finnair flight 666 lands safely in HEL on Friday the 13th!

'Friday the 13th' has been branded a spooky day when it comes to Western civilisation. The movie of the same name starring Kevin Bacon is considered one of the classic horror films and is possibly responsible for initiating the trend of watching horror movies on Friday nights called, 'Friday Night is Horror Night.'

2017 greeted its first Friday the 13th in January and a lot of people were bracing for a storm that might send them back to 2016 a la The Wizard of Oz.

But something more badass happened on Friday when Finnair flight AY666 was scheduled between Copenhagen, Denmark, and Helsinki, Finland. Things got a little funny when Flightradar24 pointed out that in aviation terms, the flight is from CPH to HEL, short for Helsinki!

Twitter user @catmachine pointed out that the aircraft is 13 years old as well. The flight landed at Helsinki airport between 13:00 and 14:00, allowing Flightradar24 to have a bit more fun with it.

The official Twitter handle of Helsinki airport retweeted the tweet. That prompted another tweet from Flightradar24.

Hello @CPHAirports and @HelsinkiAirport

Can you confirm if flight #AY666 departed from and arrived to gate 13? https://t.co/xJmyBM3JwU

To which Helsinki airport replied,

@flightradar24 @CPHAirports Arrival to gate 25. Gate 13 would have been a match made in HEL.
