Finnair will cancel some flights on May 5 due to a strike by the Finnish Aviation Union (IAU).
The strike will take place at Helsinki-Vantaa International Airport, lasting for four hours. While not restricted to a specific time, essential operations such as aircraft maintenance, ground work, and catering will be temporarily halted. Passengers are advised to carry essentials in their hand luggage.
As a result, approximately 100 flights will be canceled, affecting 7,500 booked passengers. Alternative flights will be provided, with notifications sent via email and app.
A similar strike happened on May 2, resulting in around 140 flight cancellations, including routes from Japan such as Tokyo/Narita and Osaka/Kansai to Helsinki. A similar strike might also occur on May 16.
