Finnair Cuts 90 Jobs In Finland As Russian Airspace Closes

Finnair has reduced approximately 90 jobs in Finland due to the changes in its operating environment caused by the closure of Russian airspace.

It will cut 57 jobs outside the country, the OneWorld member says in a statement today. The personnel reductions will be implemented by the end of February 2023, it adds.

The airline has ended the change negotiations that were started in early October on its plan to reduce 200 out of 5300 jobs globally. The plan was linked to Finnair's new strategy published on 7 September which targets to restore Finnair's profitability.

The change negotiations concerned some 770 employees in Finland who work in executive, manager, and expert roles, the airline says.
