Finnair to return to Japan with easy UK connections

Finnish flag carrier Finnair (AY/FIN) is restarting flights from Helsinki to Osaka, Japan in 2023 as the demand increases on Asian routes post-pandemic.

The flight times have been designed with easy onward connections to London Heathrow, Manchester and Dublin and passengers can choose from three weekly flights from Helsinki to the Japanese port city.

Ole Orvér, Finnair’s Chief Commercial Officer,  said: “We are happy to be able to respond to the increasing travel demand between Europe and key Asian destinations. 

“In summer 2023, we will be operating 14 weekly connections between Finland and Japan, and we have daily connections to Delhi and Hong Kong.

“Helsinki Airport with its spacious new facilities offers an excellent experience both for customers visiting Finland and for those who continue onwards to one of our many European destinations.”

The service will be operated by a Finnair Airbus A350XWB aircraft with fares from London to Osaka starting at £971 one way.
