Finnair strengthens its Japan network and will operate up to three daily flights to Tokyo next summer
Finnair is responding to growing demand for travel to Asia, and Japan in particular, by increasing flights to Tokyo for the 2027 summer season. The airline will add frequencies on its Tokyo Narita route during the peak summer travel period, operating up to two daily flights to the destination. In addition, Finnair will continue to serve Tokyo Haneda Airport daily.
With the additional Narita frequencies, Finnair will offer a record number of connections between Helsinki and Tokyo next summer, with up to three daily flights at peak times. The flights have been timed to provide smooth onward connections from Japan across Finnair’s European network.
“Japan is our biggest market after Finland and demand for flights to Japan has remained strong. We have been steadily increasing our capacity to Japan for the past years, and the additional Narita frequencies will allow us to offer our customers greater choice and even more convenient connections to Tokyo, which is by far the most popular of our destinations in Japan,” says Christine Rovelli, Finnair’s Chief Revenue Officer.
With the additional frequencies, Finnair’s services to Japan will increase from 28 weekly flights operated this summer to up to 32 weekly flights during the summer of 2027, further strengthening Finnair’s position as one of the largest airlines between Europe and Japan.
Finnair operates year-round services to Tokyo Haneda, Tokyo Narita and Osaka. In summer, Finnair also flies to Nagoya as the only European airline to operate flights to the city.
Additional Narita frequencies from 12 May to 14 August 2027 (excluding HEL-NRT on 13 May and NRT-HEL on 14 May):
- AY71 HEL-NRT 12:20-07:15 (+1)
- AY72 NRT-HEL 08:55-15:35
