Strengthening services to Asia
On another front, Finnair is focusing on expanding its Asian network. In response to growing demand from French travellers, particularly to Japan, the company plans to increase flights to Tokyo Narita.

A forward-looking vision
Under the leadership of Christine Rovelli, Finnair's Chief Revenue Officer, the company has identified a significant growth opportunity by focusing its service extensions on strategic international markets.
