Nov 16, 2022 (newstodate): Hard hit by the effects from Russia's war on Ukraine, including the closure of Russian airspace, Finnair is fighting to regain its breath through cost saving measures and new strategies.
Having already cut most of its earlier key breadwinner, the Asian traffic, and placed a significant part of its fleet on wet-lease contracts, Finnair is now also looking into reshaping of its cabin crew planning.
Finnair is thus to start negotiations from November 23, 2022, with its cabin crew in Finland to discuss plans to subcontract in-flight services on routes to/from Thailand and the US to partners.
Possible subcontracting would be implemented by the end of 2023.
If implemented, the subcontracting plan could result in reducing up to 450 jobs in Finnair’s In-flight services now employing some 1,750 staff.
The cabin service for Finnair’s Singapore, Hong Kong and India routes as well as for the Doha routes from Stockholm and Copenhagen is already provided by Finnair’s partners on the routes.
