Finnair considers changing some widebodys to cargo planes, according to Yle. There would be double crews so that plane can fly back without quarantines. This only in Finnish https://yle.fi/uutiset/3-11272666

How does it work regarding crews? Is there a crew in MIA already to operate the return flight tomorrow or do they fly as pax to MIA and then as crew back to Helsinki (unlikely?)?

Can you even board the plane? Did the US not ban you from entry? You definitely can't do international turn-around in the US without passing the border checks. And even if you could, the airline would probably not let you.
