Finnair will reach an important milestone for its Japanese flights when the company starts flying daily to Tokyo in 2010. Air traffic agreement negotiations between Finland and Japan in September 2008 agreed on the right to increase the number of flights to all of Finnair’s present destinations in Japan, namely Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya.
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 Tokyo flights will grow to seven when the lengthening of Narita Airport’s second runway is completed in 2010. The total number of Japanese flights will then increase to 24.
The air traffic agreement also allows Finnair unlimited code sharing rights to Japanese domestic destinations via Osaka and Nagoya and also to three destinations via Tokyo.
