Finnair will reinstate flights from March 9 to Japan’s Tokyo Narita airport four times a week out of Helsinki, with the service taking a new route that avoids the Russian airspace.
The Helsinki-Tokyo Narita service departs on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, while the Tokyo-Helsinki flight operates on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The flight time is approximately 13 hours.
“Japan is one of our most important markets, and we want to continue offering safe and reliable connections between Helsinki and Tokyo also in this situation”, said Ole Orvér, chief commercial officer, Finnair.
Finnair continues to fly to Bangkok, Delhi, Phuket and Singapore, with a longer routing that avoids Russian airspace.
It has cancelled flights to China, Japan and South Korea until March 6, as it evaluates possible alternative routings for these services.
