Unique ash cloud crisis over Finnair traffic was at a standstill for a week

Unique ash cloud crisis over Finnair traffic was at a standstill for a week due to the Iceland volcanic eruption, but the situation has now completely normalized More than 1, 700 cancelled flights, affecting more than 140, 000 passengers Stranded passengers were repatriated quickly after traffic resumed Of the more than 20, 000 stranded passengers, the last will return home today EU internal coordination operated poorly. Integrating Europe airspace control would bring better coordination in corresponding situations (and would reduce unnecessary emissions) Finnair expects clear ground rules on customer care, for the benefit of both customers and airlines

Aid measures distort competition Companies in the weakest situation are making strong demands for help Finnair opposes aid; there is a great risk of the system being used to support airlines more widely Already signs of aid in contravention of EU competition law Under the EU air services regulation, airlines must be able to meet their obligations for the next 12 -month period Do the airlines demanding support fulfil the conditions of their operating licences? The EU Commission has made unreasonable demands on airlines, but at the same time has paid scant regard to the fulfilment of operating licence requirements If money is given to the sector, all airlines should be equally treated
