Finnair prepares to cancel some flights as pilots reject wage offer

Finnair said on December 11 it was preparing to cancel some flights on December 12, after the Finnish Air Line Pilots' Association (SLL) rejected a settlement proposal for a collective labor agreement, Report informs via Reuters.

SLL will start a standby ban on Finnair pilots on December 12, meaning pilots will not come to work from on-call shifts, Finnair said in a statement, adding that there was already an ongoing ban on overtime work.

"When a pilot falls ill, for example, on-call pilots are unavailable and the flight has to be canceled," the company said.
