Finnair to launch Helsinki to Nanjing flights in May 2018

FINNAIR has announced plans to launch a new year-round route, operated by an Airbus A330, between Helsinki and Nanjing from May 13, 2018.

Offering convenient transfers to Finnair's network of 100 destinations, Helsinki to Nanjing flights will be operated three times per week during the summer season and two times per week during the winter season.

The opening of the Nanjing route will expand the Finnish carrier's footprint in Northeast Asia, with the airline flying to seven destinations in Greater China during the 2018 summer season.

Altogether, Finnair will fly 38 weekly flights to Greater China, flying daily flights to both Beijing and Shanghai, four weekly flights to both Chongqing and Guangzhou, three weekly flights to both Nanjing and Xian as well as 10 weekly flights to Hong Kong.

"We are very pleased to be expanding our growing network in China with the addition of Nanjing, our seventh destination in Greater China," said chief commercial officer Juha Jarvinen.

"Finnair is fast becoming one of the biggest and most preferred European carriers operating between Europe and China. Next year will also mark a very important milestone in our history as we will celebrate the 30th anniversary of Finnair's inaugural flight to Beijing and China," said Mr Jarvinen.
