Finnair has been selected as the Best European Airline at the annual TTG China Travel Awards. TTG China has been recognizing Greater China’s best companies in the travel industry for the past nine years, across segments such as airlines, hotels & resorts, serviced residences and travel services. The selection process for the awards is determined by votes cast from fellow trade professionals who are readers of TTG China, TTG-­BTmice China, TTG Asia, TTG India, TTGmice, TTGassociations and TTG Asia Luxury.

It is a great honor to have received this prestigious mark of recognition from TTG readers and contributors in China,” says Juha Järvinen, Chief Commercial Officer, Finnair. “Our aim is to continuously improve the customer experience on our flights, including the service to long-haul destinations. The addition of our new A350 XWB aircrafts for the Beijing and Shanghai routes has truly transformed the onboard experience for our customers and the feedback received so far has been excellent. By the end of this year, we will have seven A350 aircrafts in our long-haul fleet and we will have altogether 19 of these state-of-the-art aircraft by 2023.”
