Finnair announced on Tuesday that several unions will strike at Helsinki Airport between 2 PM and 4 PM today (March 27, 2025), resulting in mass flight cancellations.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Finnair originally estimated that roughly 70 flights would be cancelled due to this action, but the number at the time of writing this is already at 104 (remember that the return rotation is automatically cancelled as well) + there are likely further cancellations as the day progresses.<\/span><\/p>\n You can access Finnair here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Note that this strike likely affects not only Finnair but other airlines serving the airport. You should check with the airline to see if the flight will operate or has been canceled\/retimed.<\/p>\n The EC 261\/2004 legislation\u2019s Duty to Care applies, and airlines are required to rebook affected passengers to their final destination as soon as possible, even if this means rebooking them on other airlines.<\/p>\n Airlines also need to provide accommodation and meals in case of long delays.<\/p>\n Passengers can also opt for a refund if their travel is disrupted, and the airline is required to provide a refund in that instance, even on non-refundable tickets.<\/p>\n If any of the striking employees who caused the flight cancellation are directly employed by the airline, the EC 261\/2004 delay compensation also kicks in.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n AY 1421 HEL-HAM<\/p>\n AY801 HEL-ARN<\/p>\n AY1761 HEL-FCO<\/p>\n AY1571 HEL-CDG<\/p>\n AY1391 HEL-DUS<\/p>\n AY1541 HEL-BRU<\/p>\n AY1411 HEL-FRA<\/p>\n AY1331 HEL-LHR<\/p>\n AY1751 HEL-MXP<\/p>\n AY1301 HEL-AMS<\/p>\n AY1471 HEL-VIE<\/p>\n AY549 HEL-RVN<\/p>\n AY1433 HEL-BER<\/p>\n AY573 HEL-KTT<\/p>\n AY603 \u00a0HEL-IVL<\/p>\n AY1423 HEL-HAM<\/p>\n AY533 HEL-RVN<\/p>\n AY913 HEL-OSL<\/p>\n AY807 HEL-ARN<\/p>\n AY439 HEL-OUL<\/p>\n AY1335 HEL-LHR<\/p>\n AY1763 HEL-FCO<\/p>\n AY955 HEL-CPH<\/p>\n AY441 HEL-OUL<\/p>\n AY1337 HEL-LHR<\/p>\n AY1023 HEL-TLL<\/p>\n AY1755 HEL-MXP<\/p>\n AY937 HEL-TOS<\/p>\n AY915 HEL-OSL<\/p>\n AY813 HEL-ARN<\/p>\n AY1577 HEL-CDG<\/p>\n AY941 HEL-BGO<\/p>\n AY1365 HEL-MAN<\/p>\n AY1105 HEL-VNO<\/p>\n AY605 HEL-IVL<\/p>\n AY151 HEL-HKT<\/p>\n AY575 HEL-KTT<\/p>\n AY1305 HEL-AMS<\/p>\n AY1405 HEL-MUC<\/p>\n AY535 HEL-RVN<\/p>\n AY455 HEL-OUL<\/p>\n AY1395 HEL-DUS<\/p>\n AY1513 HEL-ZRH<\/p>\n AY1075 HEL-RIX<\/p>\n AY315 HEL-VAA<\/p>\n AY15 HEL-JFK<\/p>\n AY1373 HEL-EDI<\/p>\n AY1475 HEL-VIE<\/p>\n AY959 HEL-CPH<\/p>\n AY443 HEL-OUL<\/p>\n AY1341 HEL-LHR<\/p>\n AY825 HEL-ARN<\/p>\n The effects of industrial action on Finnair flights on 27 March 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n Finnair cancels several flights on Thursday, 27 March 2025 due to industrial action at Helsinki Airport.<\/strong><\/p>\n Published\u00a025.03.2025Updated\u00a026.03.2025<\/p>\n Three trade union sections of the Finnish Aviation Union (IAU) – Civil Aviation Workers (SLT), Open Technical Trade Union Section (ATA), and the Finnish Civil Aviation Officials Union – along with the Finnish Transport Workers’ Union (AKT) have announced industrial action.
