Finnair has cancelled services to Asia, Moscow and Saint Petersburg for one week following Russia’s decision to close its airspace as its war with Ukraine continues.

Some workers have been offered different roles with the airline

The airline has suspended services to Seoul, Osaka, Tokyo, Shanghai and Guangzhou in Asia, as well as Moscow and Saint Petersburg in Russia, between 28 February and 6 March.

Finnair has rerouted flights to Bangkok, Phuket, Singapore and Delhi to avoid Russian airspace, which has lengthened the flight times by approximately one hour.

Customers who have bookings on the cancelled flights have been contacted by the airline. Passengers can apply for a full refund for an unused ticket.
