Aug 29, 2017 (newstodate): From the start of the coming winter schedule on October 29, 2017, Finnair Cargo will no longer manage the cargo capacity on Japan Air Lines' daily Boeing 787 flights between Narita and Helsinki.
Instead, JAL Cargo has entrusted sales on the flights to the Schiphol-based Dutch cargo company J-Air bv that is already the carrier's cargo GSSA in the European markets - and is serving only JAL Cargo.
-We have had an agreement with JAL regarding the majority of the cargo capacity on JAL flights between Tokyo and Helsinki, says Milla Nyholm, Finnair Cargo Marketing Manager.
-The current 12-month period of the agreement is now ending and JAL is taking the capacity of these flights between Tokyo and Helsinki back to their own use.
-However, our good cooperation with JAL continues in other areas such as ground handling services, with JAL providing ground handling for Finnair Cargo at Tokyo Narita airport, says Ms Nyholm.
Friendly as it seems, the loss of the cargo capacity on Japan Air Lines' flights from Helsinki to Tokyo spells a reduction of Finnair Cargo's capacity to lift not least Norwegian seafood to Japan, and will leave a mark on the airline's coming cargo statistics on the Asian traffic from November.
Finnair is currently serving the route to Tokyo with eleven weekly rotations until the end of the summer season, operated with A350 and A330 aircraft.
