Once a week is all you got until HK stops these random flight suspensions. AY is not the only one, pretty much every airline who still fly to HK is only doing it once a week.

The restrictions for crews has been eased somewhat. And the current flight suspension is only 5 days, so that a weekly flight is not at suspension risk.
Let's hope AY does restart, although it is a very long route if no technical stop.

My HEL-OSL on August 4th was cancelled. There is also no morning flight on the 5th. All I get are options via various airports to TRF. It will be interesting to see what Egencia suggests to me. I cannot fly before 2pm on the 4th, and I have to be in Oslo at 9am on the 5th. The 5.35 via RIX does not sound too appealing...
I wonder what is going on with OSL in general? It seems the best flights for business purposes (i.e. mornings from HEL) are often cancelled. Yet, my experience is that the OSL flights are very full. And expensive.

What is going on now with Finnair? Now they cancelled my Aug 2nd CPH-HEL, rebooking me to a much earlier flight which I can't make. Is there an A320 out of service, crew shortage or what?

I had crew shortage (as confirmed by CS) on Jun 30th, when they cancelled ZRH-HEL about 5 hours before departure. They rebooked us for Jul 2nd and I had to intervene this is not working, I need to be in HEL earlier and suggested connecting flights via another EU-airport. CS called back and worked something out for Jul 1st.
Let's see how the compensation handling is going to be...

And how many are still in storage or sold?
