Finnair's long-haul flights from Osaka, Shanghai, Beijing and Tokyo will arrive in Finland today. Long-haul flights departing from Finland will probably fly today to some extent behind schedule. Europe and domestic flights have had to be cancelled today until 15.00. After this time, Finnair may be able to operate some of its European and domestic flights. "We understand that many of our customers are in a difficult situation. We are trying to fly as much as possible to bring our customers safety and quickly home. Unfortunately the situation will not be resolved immediately after traffic resumes, because by a ruling of the Court of Appeal we have to take on to flights first and foremost those who have valid tickets for the flights in question. Only after that can we fill aircraft with passengers who have had to wait," says Finnair's President & CEO Mika Vehviläinen.
