Finnair and Japan Airlines deepen their co-operation

Finnair Finnair and Japanese Airlines are already codesharing their flights in Japan.
Finnair, and its oneworld partner Japan Airlines (JAL), are deepening their co-operation. According to a Finnair press release, Japan Airlines will start flying from Tokyo to Helsinki four times a week beginning March 2013. Finnair and JAL have operated codeshares together for several years, and the new flight deepens their cooperation.

JAL is planning timetables so that flights arriving in the afternoon in Helsinki will have optimal transfers to Finnair’s onward European connections.

— We wish JAL a warm welcome in Finland. We are happy to expand our well-functioning cooperation and to strengthen even further our position in Asia, says Finnair President and CEO Mika Vehviläinen.

In current codeshare arrangements between the two airlines, four flights operated by JAL to destinations in Japan (Haneda, Fukuoka, Sapporo and Okinawa) also carry Finnair flight numbers. JAL meanwhile has its own flight numbers for all Finnair flights between Helsinki and Japan (Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya) as well as for 11 onward Finnair flights to European destinations.
