Koji Moriwaki, a head chef at Finnair Kitchen, comes from a typical Japanese family, in which his stay-at-home mom took care of the cooking and dad was the one who went to work. Being a chef was not originally Koji’s dream job or plan, but rather a happy and convenient coincidence.
Millions of people fly with us every year, and each journey leaves something behind: paper cups, juice cartons, packaging, the remains of a meal.

Small choices add up fast when they're repeated across around 100,000 flights a year, so even minor improvements carry real weight.
