Finnair, Finland's largest airline, is suspending around 550 flights this week because of a trade union strike against the Finnish government planned for 1 and 2 February. Reuters reports this. The strike may affect Helsinki Airport operations and the company's flights. Protesters oppose the government's plans to give priority to local labour agreements and restrict political strikes.
Finnair customers will be offered alternative routes, but flight cancellations will begin on Tuesday morning. Trade unions are protesting against restrictions on labour rights and trying to influence the government's decisions on labour agreements and strikes.
