Finnair to expand services to Japan, Dominican Republic

Finnair will launch 2X-weekly Helsinki-Sapporo (Japan) seasonal service, from Dec. 15, 2019 through March 27, 2020. Sapporo will be Finnair’s fifth destination in Japan, in addition to Tokyo Narita, Osaka, Nagoya and Fukuoka. “Japan is a key market for us … Finnair is the only European airline to fly a scheduled route to Sapporo. And with five key Japanese cities in our network, we are now the largest European carrier flying to Japan,” Finnair SVP-network and resource management Christian Lesjak said. The carrier will also launch a weekly seasonal Airbus A350-900 Helsinki-Punta Cana (Dominican Republic) service, from Dec. 13, 2019 to March 27, 2020. Finnair also flies once a week to Puerto Plata (Dominican Republic) during the winter season.
