Finnair Hat Parade

The annual traditional Finnair Vappu – May Day – hat parade went on show at Finnair on April 30 in celebration of the spring. Various colourful and preferably silly headwear were on display at Finnair offices.

We are on time!

If passengers get annoyed about delays or mislaid baggage, it means an even bigger headache for the airlines. Late departures lead to delays for the next departure, so that in the worst case the entire route network suffers because baggage and customers miss connections and a snowballing of delays begins.

Has flight safety weakened?

Long-term flight safety is a combination of reporting culture and risk management, quality assurance, cooperation and communication. It is matter of training, maintenance and constant checking. It permits human error, but it does not accept intentional deviation from set standards. All this is possible only through the accommodating influence of management and the profession approach of all personnel to their own work. This everyday work is facilitated by the correct working methods, expert employees and a modern fleet.

Why doesn’t Finnair believe in emissions offsets?

When choosing an air trip, the cheapest option is often also the most polluting. This is because the cheaper option is often the one that, for example, consumes more or because it is operated by airlines using fleets of different standards. Because new technology is expensive, it means that the least polluting and better quality flights often cost a little more. The consumer is free to choose an air trip that might be as much as three times more polluting to the environment – and pay offset charges of as little as a couple of euros. The real costs of carbon dioxide and the effects on the environment are not reflected in the final bill.

New Look – Better Mood

The cabin look is now brighter, warmer and more easy-going than before. Safely, freshly and creatively, with a Finnish flavour. Customers’ first assessments from daily flights to Kittilä in Lapland can be summed up in one word: ‘Wow!’. Passengers on the New York route will be next to assess the new interior.

Mutual Admiration Society

Finnair still does not support the idea, that the passenger should compensate for aviation’s emissions. If one journey of a thousand kilometers is compensated to the tune of a couple of euros, it doesn’t say anything about the environmental effect.
