Flight cancellations on 24–25 November due to a possible industrial action
To prepare for the possible support strike announced by the Finnish Aviation Labour Union (IAU) we must cancel a number of Finnair flights on 24–25 November. The cancellations are caused by the strike’s effect on our critical operations at Helsinki Airport.
The possible support strike related to the labour dispute at Posti, Finnish postal service on Monday 25 November would affect many of our critical operations including ground handling and customer service at Helsinki Airport, as well as our catering and technical operations. Finnair is not a party in the dispute in question.
