Finnair will cancel some flights on June 17 due to a strike by the Finnish Aviation Union (IAU).
The strike will take place for four hours at Helsinki-Vantaa International Airport. Although it is not limited to specific times, operations critical for flights such as aircraft maintenance, ground operations, and catering will be temporarily halted. As a result, about 143 flights will be canceled, affecting 6,500 passengers. Alternative flights will be offered to the passengers, who will be notified by email or app. Users are requested to bring essentials in their carry-on luggage.
The strike has been carried out five times in May and twice in June, with over 660 flights canceled, affecting Japan routes as well. Another strike is expected on June 19, and reservation changes are already being accepted.
