Apr 11, 2012 (newstodate): As part of its transformation program aiming at cutting costs to bring back the carrier into profitability, Finnair is to close down its own engine and component services.
Instead, these activities will be sourced to SR Technics, based on an MoU signed by the partners today.
Already now a significant share of Finnair's engine maintenance, approximately half of the company's component maintenance and the majority of aircraft heavy maintenance are provided by partners.
Finnair's line maintenance will however remain an integral part of its own operations.
The planned cooperation with SR Technics will result in discontinuing Finnair's own engine services and making major adjustments to Finnair's component services.
Finnair's engine and component services currently employ approximately 350 people, and when implemented, the new partnership will entail a reduction by some 280 of these positions.
