Finnair has reduced i February capacity following the impact of Omicron on staffing levels.
To cope with the resource challenges, Finnair has decreased its traffic in February by around 20% and offers alternative flight options to customers.
These flight cancellations will enable Finnair to operate a more flexible schedule.
Ole Orvér, Finnair Chief Commercial Officer, said: "Staff sick leave is now significantly impacting Finnair and airports in Finland as well as throughout the world. We aim to meet these resourcing challenges through the cancellation of flights, to avoid last-minute changes and better manage our customers’ expectations."
The majority of Finnair’s cancelled flights are on routes where it operates multiple daily flights, so many customers will be offered an alternative flight to the same destination on the same day. These destinations include services to Stockholm, Oslo, Copenhagen, Paris and Rome.
Changes will also take place to long-haul flights.
The inaugural Dallas service will move from February to March 27 and the start of the Nagoya flights, and added frequencies to Osaka, will move to the summer of 2022.
Finnair will also reduce weekly frequencies to Singapore to twice a week and to Hong Kong to three.
Finnair customers will be sent their new flight details via email.
Until 28 February 2022, customers can change their travel dates as many times as they need, without any additional change fee.
