Finnair Flight Cancellations January 18 – March 9, 2025

Finnair is negotiating with its Pilot Union about a new collective agreement. Pilots’ refusal to work overtime and standby dutt continues to result in last minute flight cancellations.

Finnair has been canceling 5 to 15 flights daily, including some long-haul rotations, and this is expected to continue until a new agreement is reached.

You can access Finnair here.

Remember that Finnair must rebook affected passengers to their final destination at the earliest possible opportunity, even moving them to other airlines such as Lufthansa and Swiss.

The airline must also provide Duty to Care in case of long delays, which means accommodation and meals.

Work actions by airline employees are also not considered extraordinary, and thus, airlines are required to compensate passengers who arrive at their final destination with a delay per EC 261/2004.

Conclusion

The number of cancellations varies significantly between days, but one or two long-haul rotations are usually canceled daily.

This dispute between Finnair and its pilot union has been ongoing since early December when these are often resolved expediently.
