Dec 10, 2010 (newstodate): Finnair is recovering its breath after a week marred by a cabin crew strike and mounting threats from supportive unions.
Late Thursday evening the Association of Support Service Industries and the Finnish Cabin Crew Union accepted a settlement proposal on the collective agreement of Finnair's cabin staff.
Following the settlement, the cabin crew strike that began on Tuesday last week will also end, and most of Finnair's traffic will return
to normal during the weekend.
-The new agreement ensures that we can reduce costs through improved work
productivity. We obtained necessary structural changes in long-haul traffic
important for us, says Mika Vehvilainen, Finnair President & CEO.
