Finnair will cancel around 80 flights on Friday, July 4, due to a planned industrial action by the Finnish Aviation Union (IAU) at Helsinki Airport, which will disrupt all essential ground services. The cancellations will affect about 8,000 passengers.
Affected customers will be contacted directly by Finnair starting July 2, with rebooking options or the ability to request a refund. Customers can manage changes via Finnair’s website or app. Passengers scheduled to fly on July 4 have also been offered free date changes, and thousands have already rescheduled.
The IAU has also announced further strike dates on July 7, 16, 18, 21, and 23, but the impacts on those days are still under evaluation. Customers with bookings on July 7 are encouraged to reschedule now, with changes allowed until the end of September, subject to fare rules.
Finnair apologises for the disruption and advises checking finnair.com/travelupdates for the latest information.
