Finnair has received permission from Chinese authorities to begin operating one weekly flight as of July 23, between Helsinki and Shanghai with its Airbus A350 aircraft. The flight schedule will be published in all Finnair sales channels.
Finland has opened its borders for work-related travel from China but entry to Finland is still restricted for the time being pending an EU-level decision on reciprocity.
Finnair currently offers connections to 24 European destinations from Helsinki.
