Finnair: direct to Kittilä, new route to Melbourne and more flights to Japan

Finnair's direct flights from Brussels to Kittilä start on 2 December. The new route for this winter season operates twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, with an early morning departure from Brussels and an evening return from Kittilä. That leaves your clients a full day in Lapland on both the outbound and the return day!

Lapland is magical and open for experiences all year round, not just in winter. Finnair is the only airline flying from Helsinki to Finnish Lapland throughout the year. In the summer season, Finnish Lapland can also be combined with Northern Norway: selected flights from Ivalo continue to Kirkenes, some flights from Kittilä continue to Alta, and from Rovaniemi you can also fly to Tromsø.

Finnair has added a whole new continent to its network: daily flights from Helsinki to Melbourne took off on 25 October. The evening flight from Brussels to Helsinki connects smoothly with the Melbourne flight, which leaves Helsinki shortly after midnight and makes a stopover in Bangkok. On the way back, the flight from Melbourne arrives in Helsinki early in the morning, with a good connection to the morning flight to Brussels. The route operates all year round.

Please note when booking: check the departure and arrival dates carefully. Because of the time difference and the long journey, passengers arrive in Melbourne two calendar days after leaving Brussels. On the return journey, they are back in Belgium the following day.

Finnair is responding to the growing demand for travel to Asia, and to Japan in particular, with more flights to Tokyo in summer 2027. During the busiest summer weeks, extra flights are added to Tokyo Narita, so the route operates up to twice daily in the peak weeks. Finnair also flies daily to Tokyo Haneda all year round.

Finnair's Japan schedules are designed for smooth connections across its European network, including to and from Brussels. Finnair flies year-round to Tokyo Haneda, Tokyo Narita and Osaka, and to Nagoya in the summer season. With the extra flights, Finnair operates up to 32 flights a week to Japan next summer!

The additional Narita flight operates from 12 May to 14 August 2027 (except HEL-NRT on 13 May and NRT-HEL on 14 May).
