Finnair will commence operating one weekly flight between Helsinki and Nanjing as of September 11, 2020.

The recommenced Finnair Nanjing route will be operated with an Airbus A350 aircraft until October 18, and the airline continues to support cargo and passenger travel demand between Europe and China.

Finnair currently offers smooth connections to 30 destinations in Europe and Finland from its Helsinki hub.

“We are happy to be able to serve another destination in China, which continues to be a key market for us,” says Ole Orvér, Chief Commercial Officer, Finnair. “In September we are flying to Mainland China (Shanghai and Nanjing) two times per week and look forward to further increasing our service to the Chinese market soonest.”

Finnair began gradually adding long-haul and regional frequencies and routes back to its network in July, following an almost complete suspension of services in the wake of the Covid-19 epidemic. The initial focus going forward is on established routes to strategically important Asian destinations.

Finnair currently serves some 40 destinations in Europe and Asia, operating altogether 80-90 flights per day. Finnair constantly reviews its traffic plan and has the capability to add flights and re-open destinations at a rapid pace, as travel restrictions are removed and travel demand recovers. Long-haul flights to Asia are also supported by cargo demand.
