Finnair Oyj revealed plans to eliminate about a quarter of its cabin-crew posts in Finland after the closure of Russian airspace upended a business model based on flights to Asia, forcing the firm into steep cost cuts.
Finland’s state-controlled carrier is looking to scrap as many as 450 of its 1,750 flight-attendant post there and extend the outsourcing of cabin services if no deal on revised contracts is reached, according to a statement Wednesday.
