Finnair to cancel approximately 110 flights due to strikes
Finnair will have to cancel 110 flights on June 4th
Finnair has made an announcement to the public that several flights from the UK will be cancelled tomorrow (June 4) due to striking. The airline, that flies in and out of Manchester airport, has announced it will cancel approximately 110 flights to Helsinki tomorrow due to industrial action by the Finnish Aviation Union (IAU) at Helsinki Airport.
Customers are being asked to make sure that their contact information is up to date on their reservation. Customers will be able to cancel their reservation and apply for a refund for the unused ticket.
Flight cancellations are expected to affect approximately 14,000 Finnair customers. Finnair will offer customers of cancelled flights an alternative flight, which the customer can see in the Manage booking service on Finnair's website or the Finnair mobile application.
The industrial action may cause disruptions, such as, at the baggage handling at Helsinki Airport on Monday, so customers travelling on Monday are encouraged to check-in in advance, arrive at the airport on time, and pack essential items, such as medicines, in carry-on baggage.
