Hienonen has his point. A small airline of a small country can not have an outdated infrastructure and small labour unions here should not be sawing the thin branch they are sitting on. Those being paid less would have been willing to sacrifice at difficult times and those being paid much most definitely not. Evidently, the first cuts will affect the domestic network. Lucky to have Blue1 as an alternative.

As the Finnish government still holds majority of the shares, major changes are to be expected in the near future. I expect the customers to benefit from that.

Bussing has more to do with Finnavia running the HEL airport and shortage of jetways than Finnair. Hopefully the new terminal arrangements (split by the airline nowadays) and opening of the new non-Shengen part will help in that.
