Sep 26, 2008 (newstodate): From 2010 Finnair plans to offer daily flights between Helsinki, Finland, and Tokyo Narita, Japan.
This follows after the successful signing of a new bi-lateral air services agreement between the two countries earlier this September.
The agreement grants the right to increase the number of flights to all of Finnair's present destinations in Japan, namely Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya.
-Even in financially difficult times, we must also look purposefully towards future earning opportunities. Receiving additional flights to Japan shows that Finnairs Asian strategy is moving forward. Our goal is to establish daily connections to all of our Asian destinations, and in this we have now succeeded with regard to Tokyo and Nagoya, says Mika Perho, Finnair SVP Commercial Division.
Finland immediately has the right to 21 weekly return flights between Finland and Japan: four to Tokyo, ten to Osaka and seven to Nagoya.
The number of oneworld alliance member Finnair's Tokyo flights will grow to seven when the lengthening of Narita Airports second runway is completed in 2010, increasing the total number of Japanese flights to 24.
The air services agreement also allows Finnair unlimited code sharing rights to Japanese domestic destinations via Osaka and Nagoya and also to three destinations via Tokyo.
