New Routes and Increased Frequency to Boost Global Connectivity for Travelers
With summer 2025 approaching, Finnair is enhancing its flight services to meet the evolving demands of global travellers. By expanding its flight network to several popular cities in the United States and Asia, Finnair is set to provide new opportunities for seamless travel, leveraging strategic partnerships and increased frequency on key routes. The airline’s upcoming schedule covers critical hubs across North America and Asia, promising convenient connections and bolstered service offerings.
Enhanced Flight Services to the United States: More Options and Greater Frequency
Chicago: Daily Service to the Midwest
Starting in the summer of 2025, Finnair will offer daily flights to Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD). Chicago has long been a favoured destination, both for its iconic architecture and as a gateway to the Midwest. By expanding to a daily service, Finnair aims to enhance flexibility for travellers bound for the U.S., providing business and leisure passengers with improved options. This new frequency also strengthens Finnair’s connectivity with American Airlines’ vast domestic network, allowing travellers to reach numerous U.S. cities with greater ease.
Dallas: Increased Frequencies for Optimal Connectivity
Finnair’s service expansion in the U.S. includes a significant boost for Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). Scheduled for up to 11 weekly flights, Finnair’s Dallas route now offers five more frequencies compared to the 2024 summer season. This enhanced schedule makes Dallas a prime location for onward travel within North America. From Dallas, passengers can connect to a range of destinations through American Airlines, which operates an extensive domestic and international network, ideal for travellers exploring the U.S. and beyond.
Seattle: Increased West Coast Accessibility
With additional flights to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), Finnair is set to strengthen its West Coast services. Seattle’s addition of two weekly frequencies brings even more options for travellers heading to the Pacific Northwest. Known for its vibrant tech industry, lush natural beauty, and as a launch point for trips to Canada and Alaska, Seattle has become a crucial link in Finnair’s U.S. route network. Travelers can continue to other popular West Coast destinations and Hawaii, thanks to partnerships with Alaska Airlines and American Airlines.
Los Angeles: West Coast Gateway with Increased Service
The bustling hub of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) will also benefit from two extra weekly frequencies, offering travellers more choice and flexibility. Known as a major gateway to the West Coast and the Pacific, Los Angeles remains a popular hub for both international and domestic flights. Passengers looking to reach further destinations along the West Coast and Hawaii will find Finnair’s partnership with Alaska Airlines valuable for smooth onward travel, making Los Angeles a prime access point for a comprehensive travel experience.
Expanding Asian Routes: Enhanced Access to Japan and China
Beyond North America, Finnair is prioritizing increased access to Asia, particularly in Japan and China, two regions that remain high-demand destinations for both business and leisure travel. This move aligns with the airline’s strategy to provide robust connections between Europe and Asia, benefiting passengers seeking efficient travel solutions.
Osaka: Daily Service Just in Time for the World Expo 2025
Finnair will now offer daily flights to Osaka Kansai International Airport (KIX), providing an excellent travel option for those heading to the much-anticipated World Expo 2025. Osaka, known for its rich cultural heritage, iconic food scene, and thriving industries, is a top choice for travellers in Japan. From Osaka, travellers can easily access Kyoto—a mere 1.5-hour train ride away—making the city a prime hub for exploring Japan’s historical and scenic landmarks.
Nagoya: Expanded Connectivity for Travelers to Japan
Nagoya’s Chubu Centrair International Airport (NGO) will see additional capacity with four weekly flights in the summer of 2025. As one of Japan’s major economic centres, Nagoya offers travellers a blend of industrial prowess and cultural sites. The added flight frequency reflects Finnair’s commitment to supporting the influx of travellers expected for Japan’s events and tourist season in 2025, especially with the World Expo in nearby Osaka. This increased service makes it easier for tourists to explore the city and the surrounding regions, including the historic and beautiful landscapes of the Chubu region.
Shanghai: Boosted Access to One of China’s Key Economic Centers
China remains a pivotal part of Finnair’s Asia strategy, and for summer 2025, Finnair will offer four weekly flights to Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG). Shanghai, as one of the largest cities globally and a crucial economic hub, is an important destination for business travellers. By adding weekly flights, Finnair supports smoother travel connections, reinforcing its position as a bridge between Europe and China. Travellers can take advantage of this increased frequency to explore China’s financial, cultural, and tourist offerings, underscoring Finnair’s role in facilitating travel to one of Asia’s most dynamic cities.
“Increasing our capacity to the United States brings our customers excellent connectivity to North America and beyond. Customers can connect via Dallas and Chicago to our partner American Airlines’ extensive network in North and South America, while Seattle and Los Angeles offer a gateway to for example other parts of the West Coast and Hawaii, through our partners American Airlines and Alaska Airlines”, says Finnair’s Chief Revenue Officer Christine Rovelli.
Strategic Partnerships for Seamless Travel Experiences
Finnair’s expanded routes are further enhanced by strong partnerships with American Airlines and Alaska Airlines. These partnerships offer passengers comprehensive connectivity across North America, from coast-to-coast access to more specialized routes. By flying into major hubs like Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, and Seattle, travellers can easily connect to countless destinations in the U.S., Canada, and even parts of Central and South America.
Through these collaborations, Finnair’s passengers can enjoy benefits such as smooth baggage transfers, coordinated scheduling, and convenient transit processes, which streamline the journey across North America. In addition to bolstering customer service, these partnerships enhance Finnair’s global reach, providing a comprehensive travel solution for passengers who seek efficient, flexible, and diverse travel options.
Aviation Innovation and Commitment to Customer Experience
Finnair’s service expansion reflects its commitment to offering a premium travel experience. The airline’s modern fleet, consisting of fuel-efficient aircraft, ensures that passengers enjoy an environmentally friendly flight experience with reduced emissions. Finnair’s onboard services focus on comfort and convenience, providing passengers with quality amenities, a range of dining options, and state-of-the-art inflight entertainment to enrich the travel experience.
Additionally, Finnair’s robust customer service network supports passengers throughout their journeys, from booking assistance to in-airport services. Passengers benefit from online booking flexibility and convenient mobile services, making Finnair’s expanded route network accessible and user-friendly.

Finnair’s expanded offerings for summer 2025 mark a new chapter in international travel. By strategically enhancing its routes to key destinations in the United States and Asia, the airline caters to the demands of global travellers, from business professionals to vacationers. This expansion not only supports travel convenience but also contributes to a connected world where travel is accessible, efficient, and enriching.
