2010-11-30 01:49:15 UTC
The Finnish Cabin Crew Union (SLSY), which represents Finnair's and Blue1's cabin service personnel, will begin a strike on Tuesday, 30 November 2010 at 1 pm local time. A solution was not reached on an employment agreement issue.
In the event of a strike, Finnair's flight traffic will be seriously affected. Every effort will be made to operate leisure flights normally, partially with another airline's aircraft. Leisure flights are mainly charter flights for the needs of tour operators.
Finnair's codeshare partners will fly normally despite the strike. If you have a ticket with a Finnair flight number sold for another airline's aircraft, you can take this flight as normal.
