Finnair has announced plans to expand its flight capacity to Japan for the summer 2027 season to address increasing travel demand. The airline intends to increase its total weekly connections to Japan from 28 to as many as 32 flights.

The expansion focuses on Tokyo, where the airline will offer up to three daily flights during peak periods between May 12 and August 14, 2027. This includes increasing frequencies on the Helsinki-Tokyo Narita route to up to two daily flights while maintaining daily service to Tokyo Haneda. These schedules aim to facilitate smoother connections to Finnair’s broader European network.

Japan remains Finnair’s largest market outside of Finland. The airline also maintains year-round service to Osaka and continues to provide seasonal service to Nagoya, noting it is the only European carrier serving that city.
