Finland’s airport operator, Finavia, looking to shed almost 500 jobs

FINAVIA, the state-owned airport operator in Finland, has announced it will begin consultative negotiations with its staff the objective of trimming a maximum of 480 positions, including roughly 130 in its organisation and up to 350 in that of its cabin crew and ground-handling subsidiary, Airpro.

Staff at both companies have been temporarily laid off due to the crisis triggered by the coronavirus pandemic, some since as early as March.
