Finnair is set for a boost to the fast growing Asian market with significant increases in traffic to India and China.

In response to strong demand, the number of weekly flights to India will increase from the current three to 12, while there will also be an increase in flights to China.

Finnair's China traffic will increase in mid-May, with the boosting in frequency of non-stop Hong Kong services from four times a week to daily. Non-stop services will continue over the next winter timetable season. The Chinese network will be further strengthened with the addition of a fourth weekly flight to Guangzhou.

Following these renewals, Finnair will fly to all long-haul destinations non-stop, without stopovers, bringing more alternatives for Finnair customers.

As a result of the increases in Indian and Chinese traffic, the onward flights from Bangkok to Singapore will no longer be operated. Singapore and the flights previously planned for Kuala Lumpur will be served in cooperation with partner airlines.
