It was in 1983 that Santa Claus—Finland’s most beloved global ambassador—officially named Finnair as his preferred airline, marking the start of an enchanting partnership that has delighted generations.
For four decades, Finnair has proudly served as Santa’s official carrier, embarking on annual global journeys that showcase the best of Finnish hospitality. This exclusive alliance brings the spirit of Lapland to the world, enchanting families and travelers alike with the timeless wonder of Christmas.
Central to this partnership is Finnair’s ongoing support of the Santa Claus Foundation, a charitable organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for children across the globe. In 2025, Santa’s itinerary includes vibrant cities such as Shanghai, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Osaka, Seoul, Singapore, and Delhi. During these visits, Santa brings festive cheer to schools, hospitals, and community centers, continuing a cherished tradition of spreading joy and hope to children everywhere.
