Finnair and Japan Airlines Expand Codeshare

oneworld alliance partners, Finnair and Japan Airlines are expanding their cooperation network in Europe from 1 August 2010.

"Finnair is very happy to serve European and Japanese customers with fast and competitive services between the respective markets, via Helsinki, together with our partner JAL," said Paavo Virkkunen, responsible for Finnair's oneworld alliance relations.

In August, JAL's flight number will be added on Finnair's services connecting Berlin, Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Munich, Warsaw and Brussels with Helsinki.

JAL and Finnair already have a codeshare partnership between Helsinki and Finnair's Japanese destinations Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya.

With the additional code shares JAL and Finnair offer enhanced connections between European and Japanese business cities, via Helsinki.

Finnair and Japan Airlines started their codeshare cooperation in 2005. With its own flight number, JAL already offers its customers on Finnair's services between Japan and Helsinki, between Helsinki and other Scandinavian countries as well as Frankfurt and Amsterdam.

Japan Airlines joined the oneworld airline alliance in 2007 and Finnair joined oneworld in 1999, the year that the alliance was formed.
