The first and only plane repatriating Finns from Israel arrived at Helsinki Airport on Saturday morning.
The flight carrying 149 Finns, which landed around 7am, had left Tel Aviv 90 minutes behind schedule.
This was the first and only flight bringing Finnish citizens directly back to Finland from Israel.
Another group of 31 Finns landed in Stockholm, Sweden, in the early hours of Saturday morning. These citizens will make their own way back to Finland.
Another 20 Finns have boarded Europe-bound flights organised by other countries.
The Ministry for Foreign Affairs said it was not planning any more evacuation flights. The government had initially thought to commission three flights, but the plane touching down at Helsinki Airport on Saturday morning was able to bring back many of the Finns wanting to leave the conflict zone.
