Japan Airlines and Finnair will aim to accommodate the needs of customers by establishing flights with two different schedules between Tokyo-Haneda and Helsinki.

From December 15, 2019 to March 27, 2020, Finnair will add to its existing Tokyo (Narita), Osaka (Kansai), Nagoya, and Fukuoka routes with new twice-weekly service between Sapporo (New Chitose) and Helsinki.
With a flight time of about 8 hours, Sapporo (New Chitose) will be the closest to Europe of Finnair's 5 Japanese destinations.
The new route will improve accessibility for travelers from Hokkaido as well as the Tohoku region to reach Helsinki and many European destinations beyond.

For its summer 2019 schedule (March 31 - October 26), Finnair is expanding service on its Osaka (Kansai) - Helsinki route from 7 to 10 flights per week.
Finnair will add 3 new late-night departures to its existing morning departures from Kansai, making service more convenient for travelers with diverse needs.
The early morning arrival time in Helsinki will allow for smoother connections to Finnair's many intra-Europe flights.

British Airways customers are set to soak up Osaka next summer as the airline is launching direct flights to Japan's second largest city.
The four-per-week service takes off from March 31, 2019 with flights departing from Heathrow Terminal 5 and landing into Osaka's Kansai International Airport.
The route will be operated by one of British Airways‘ newest aircraft, the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner.

Iberia has decided to add two flights a week to its Madrid and Tokyo (Narita) route.
This broadens access not only between Japan and Spain, but also destinations connecting beyond Spain such as other parts of Europe, South America, and Africa.
We will continue to work closely with our joint venture partners to expand our network of routes, and improve the quality of services such as our inflight service products, in order to offer customers more choices and a greater level of satisfaction with our services.
