Finnair has announced the appointment of Hiroki Kurata as the Japan Branch Manager, effective July 1.
Mr. Kurata possesses over 35 years of extensive experience at American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Virgin Australia, and Emirates, where he has held senior positions.
In addition to his experience overseeing sales teams in East and West Japan, he has played key roles in launching joint ventures such as the partnerships between Delta Air Lines and Korean Air, and American Airlines and Japan Airlines (JAL). This makes him an ideal candidate to further develop Finnair’s business in Japan.
The hiring process had been underway for several months as preparations for selecting a successor to the late Sakari Romu, the former Japan Branch Manager, in anticipation of his retirement.
Mr. Kurata commented, “I am truly honored to take on an important role as part of an organization that embodies both trust and results. I intend to deepen my understanding of this crucial market while closely collaborating with teams in Japan and the Nordics, including Finland, to contribute wholeheartedly to Finnair’s continued success and growth.”
