Negotiations between the Finnish Aviation Union IAU and the Service Sector Employers Palta regarding the collective agreement for air traffic services have remained unresolved for several months.
The IAU has announced a strike to take place on Wednesday, 2 July 2025. The four-hour industrial action will affect several companies providing air traffic services. As the strike will be carried out across different shifts, it is not limited to a specific time of day. Consequently, its impact is expected to extend throughout the day.
Significant disruptions to air traffic are anticipated. Be prepared for schedule changes and delays. Finnair, for example, has announced the cancellation of approximately 100 flights on 2 July.
In addition, the IAU has issued strike warnings for Friday, 4 July, and Monday, 7 July 2025.
We are closely monitoring the situation and will keep our customers informed of any developments.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your Kuehne+Nagel representative.
