March 4th 2022
Finnair will restart nonstop flights between its Helsinki hub and Tokyo Narita from March 9. Read More » The airline added it is evaluating alternative air corridors for its suspended services to several Asian cities due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The oneworld alliance member confirmed its four times a week Helsinki-Tokyo Narita service will operate with a 13-hour flight time on flight paths that avoid Russian airspace. "Japan is one of our most important markets. We want to continue offering safe and reliable connections between Helsinki and Tokyo in this situation,” Finnair chief commercial officer, Ole Orvér, said. “It also is an important cargo market and air connections are needed to keep cargo moving.” Earlier this week, Finnair suspended passenger and/or cargo routes to five cities in the Asia-Pacific and rerouted four other services operating into the region. “We continue to evaluate possible alternative routings for our flights to China and South Korea and will communicate these as soon as plans are finalised," Orvér said.
