Finnair to offer more Flights to Guangzhou and Shanghai; Non-Stop to Hong Kong

Chinese destinations are set to receive even better connections with Europe as a result of increased Finnair frequencies. Improved services between Helsinki and Hong Kong, Guangzhou and Shanghai are in response to increased demand. The flights have excellent connections with services between Helsinki and other Finnair destinations in Europe, as well as with services within China and the rest of Asia.

Hong Kong flights will be non-stop as of mid-May, omitting the current landing at Bangkok. The non-stop service continues three times a week until July, when it will be increased to four times a week until the end of October.

“There is a great demand in the Hong Kong market especially during the summer, and in both directions,” said Petteri Kostermaa, Vice President, Network Strategies and Management. “The journey time to Hong Kong is reduced by over four hours with non-stop flights. Moreover, passengers can connect smoothly between Hong Kong’s modern and award-winning airport and other destinations in mainland China and south-east Asia.”

Finnair’s popular flights to other Chinese destinations also receive a boost, with Shanghai served seven times a week instead of five as of July and Guangzhou’s three-weekly frequency stepped up to four.

“The addition of flights to and from our Chinese destinations is a natural part of our Asian strategy and demand is strong,” added Kostermaa. “Guangzhou and Shanghai are of great interest to our business customers, as well as to leisure travellers.”
