Finnair has frequent traffic to and from Japan, making it a workplace well-suited to Japanese-speaking pilots.

We do not publish a monthly figure for Finnair. An annual figure divided by twelve is not what lands in a given month — what you are paid moves with the hours you fly.

Every figure on this page is gross, before income tax. Take-home depends on where you are resident and on your own deductions, so no single percentage applies, and we do not publish one. Airlines based in countries with no personal income tax — the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia — leave more of the same gross figure in your hand.
