Due to the situation, Finnair will cancel flights and re-route passengers to other flights.
The impacts of the situation may be visible already on the days preceding and following the work stoppages. When the airline re-routes passengers from flights cancelled due to the work stoppage, the number of passengers on other days increases, and the waiting times at various service points at Helsinki Airport may be longer than usual.
The situation may also affect regional airports if flights departing from Helsinki are cancelled. The decision to cancel flights is always made by the airline.
The work stoppage affects some ground handling operations at Helsinki Airport. Therefore, there may be delays in transferring baggage to and from the aircraft. As a result, baggage delivery times may be longer than usual due to the work stoppage. The airline is always responsible for baggage delivery.
