The management of Finnair and the pilots union Palta have agreed on a new collective agreement. This applies until September 30, 2024 and is intended to make it easier for the airline to survive after the corona pandemic.

This includes the transition from a salary structure based on the year of service to a salary structure based on the vacancy as well as measures with which the seasonality of air traffic can be more effectively compensated.

“With the new collective agreement, our pilots are showing their willingness to make a constructive contribution to the reconstruction phase of Finnair in the midst of the greatest crisis in the history of aviation,” says Johanna Karppi, Senior Vice President Human Resources at Finnair. “I am pleased that we were able to agree on solutions that support Finnair's competitiveness and at the same time ensure that Finnair will continue to be a good employer for Finnish pilots in the future. The long contract period gives us predictability and supports long-term efforts to build Finnair's future ”.

Pasi Vuorio, chief negotiator at Palta, added: “The agreement is a balanced entity that takes into account the challenging situation the company is facing amid the pandemic. Thanks also go to the pilot's negotiating team ”.
