During the cabin staff strike, Finnair has been able to carry 40 per cent of
its normal amount of passengers. Around 30 per cent of Finnair flights have
been operated. In addition to the destinations announced earlier, Finnair will
also fly to Milan, Rome, Hamburg and Amsterdam from Friday.
"We want to care for our customers well also in this exceptional situation, and
we will do our best to ensure that our customers suffer the minimum possible
additional inconvenience. We are very sorry for all of the difficulties
experienced by our customers," says Finnair’s Senior Vice President Customer
Service Anssi Komulainen.
Customers whose flight is on 6 December or before can change their booking to
any date up to the end of March. It is also possible to receive a refund for
the tickets of cancelled flights. Finnair will also try as far as possible to
reroute passengers of cancelled flights. In reroutings, passengers returning
home will be prioritised.
Despite the strike, every effort will be made to operate Finnair’s leisure
flights normally, partly with external capacity.
From Friday 3 December, in addition to those announced earlier, Finnair will
fly some international scheduled flights, namely to Milan, Rome, Hamburg and
Amsterdam. As previously announced, of scheduled flight destinations in
Finland, Finnair will fly to Oulu, Kuopio, Vaasa, Joensuu, Rovaniemi, Kajaani
and Kuusamo. There will also be a service to Ivalo and Kittilä from Thursday to
Sunday. Elsewhere in Europe, flights will take place to Stockholm, Gothenburg,
Copenhagen, Düsseldorf, London, Paris and Brussels during the strike. Of
long-haul flights, a daily service to Bangkok will be operated during the
strike. The timetables of all flights and the number of flights to destinations
may deviate from normal, and changes are possible.
