Finnair has been negotiating with its Pilot Union about a new collective agreement since late 2024. Pilots’ refusal to work overtime and standby 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.

EC 261/2004 Air Passenger Rights
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.
Consumed Ombudsman in Finland is taking Finnair to Market Court for non-payment of valid claims.
