Keihäsmatkat is a Finnish drama TV series published on the Ruutu streaming service of the Nelonen channel in spring 2020. The series is about the Keihäsmatkat travel agency in the 1960s and the 1970s as well as its founder Kalevi Keihänen. Keihänen is played by Janne Kataja. The events in the series start from 1972 when Keihänen had acquired two aircraft and started his own airline Spear Air.[2][3]
Shooting of Keihäsmatkat began in July–August 2019 and the series was shot during autumn 2019 in Finland and Turkey.[2]
Publication of the series on television offended Keihänen's family, who felt it was an insult to his memory. The family has asked that the series should not be shown on television and according to newspaper articles, the family is considering taking legal action against the producers.[4]
