Finnair and Shanghai-based Juneyao Airlines will enter to a joint business partnership on July 1, 2021, where the two carriers will cooperate commercially on flights between Helsinki and Shanghai as well points beyond in China and Europe.
Finnair and Juneyao Airlines started a codeshare cooperation in July 2019, when Juneyao Air launched its Shanghai-Helsinki route. The joint business further deepens the partnership, providing corporate and leisure customers with more flexible routing options, attractive fares, and enhanced benefits for frequent flyer members. Finnair's and Juneyao's customers will benefit from more consistent customer policies for example with baggage allowances, integrated customer care, and enhanced frequent flyer award point accrual across the two airlines. Finnair customers will benefit from improved connectivity to a network of 57 destinations in China from Juneyao's Shanghai Pudong hub, and Juneyao customers will enjoy better access to Finnair's extensive network of 65 European destinations via its Helsinki hub.
Finnair and Juneyao Airlines currently operate two flights per week between Helsinki and Shanghai and look forward to increasing frequencies as soon as the pandemic situation allows. In 2019, Finnair and Juneyao Air both operated daily flights between Helsinki and Shanghai.
