Finnair has reached a savings agreement with its cabin crew, which it said will run until the end of 2025.
The Finnish flag carrier said the deal means it "has concluded the change negotiations it started in November and discontinued the subcontracting plan for in-flight services on routes to/from Thailand and North America".
Finnair said the deal followed earlier agreements on savings with pilots, senior white-collar employees and engineers, and cabin crew based in Japan and Korea, as well as other agreements that "increase efficiency" in Finnair Technical Services and different ground operation units.
”We are pleased that we have been able to find solutions together with our employees”, says Johanna Karppi, senior vice president, people and culture, “The double crisis caused by the covid-19 pandemic and the closure of Russian airspace has had a major impact on Finnair's finances," she added.
