Mar 22, 2006 (newstodate): Market demand for more Far Eastern flights have pushed Finnair to speed up plans for added frequencies.
The carrier will thus add a sixth weekly flight to Osaka between July and October and fly five times a week to Hong Kong between July and October, an earlier than planned increase from the present four flights a week.
At the beginning of March, Finnair announced that it will add a direct route for the summer to Hong Kong in addition to its existing flights to Shanghai and Guangzhou.
The company will start operating the Hong Kong route in May with three flights a week, also cutting the travel time to Hong Kong by more than four hours due to the direct flight.
The routes will be flown with Boeing MD-11 aircraft, and the increases are made possible by the addition to the fleet of an Airbus A340 aircraft in the summer already.
