Finnair placing pilots on unpaid leave
Press Release this morning:
"Finnair is to place its pilots on unpaid leave as a consequence of a change in flight schedules. The periods of leave, of at least one week, will be implemented as of mid-April. The reduction in human resources will vary
depending on the aircraft type.
“In the present climate of demand, flight schedules and the requirement for unpaid leave are being monitored regularly,” says Veikko Sievänen, Senior Vice President, Flight Operations Division.
The measures cover at this stage some 700 pilots and are part of a 30 million euro savings package being implemented by the Flight Operations Division."
