Finnair flights to several Asian destinations, including Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Seoul, Bangkok, Delhi and Singapore, are still following longer routes. We do not operate flights to Russia or use Russian airspace on its routes to Asia, and this arrangement remains in place until further notice.

Safety is always our first priority. We are following the situation closely and will update any new information on this page.

If your flight is disrupted for this reason, we’ll contact you personally via SMS and/or e-mail. Please go to Manage booking and check that we have your current contact information.

You can check the scheduled flights on our Route timetables page. Read more about our flight routes to Asia in Bluewings magazine.

We are very sorry for the situation and the uncertainty it causes you.

Flights to Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Seoul, Hong Kong and Shanghai

The flight time to Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka and Seoul is currently approximately 12-13 hours, and the flights connect smoothly to our European network. We continue flying from Helsinki to Shanghai and Hong Kong. The route goes around the Russian airspace from the south. The flight time is 12-14 hours, depending on the direction.

We are unfortunately unable to sell you our on-board internet connection in advance as the inflight connectivity will not be working along the Northern route. If you wish, you may still purchase internet connection onboard when we are using the Southern route. We have our normal meal service on these flights, and due to the longer travel time, we recommend you also take some snacks with you.

Flights to Bangkok, Singapore and Delhi

We continue flying from Helsinki to Bangkok, Singapore and Delhi. As we avoid using the Russian airspace, your travel time is some hours longer depending on the route and for example the weather conditions.

We have our normal meal service on these flights, and due to the longer travel time, we recommend you also take some snacks with you.
