Mr. Romu expressed his enthusiasm about his new position, “Japan is one of the most important bases for Finnair, and it is a great honor and responsibility to be reappointed as the head of the Japan Branch ahead of the resumption of the Nagoya route in May 2024. I am committed to further strengthening the trust with our customers and partners in Japan and to work diligently to make Finnair an increasingly beloved airline.”
