Finnair launches its new sustainability strategy and aims to be a carbon-neutral airline by the end of 2045.
The COVID-19 pandemic hits the whole globe and countries impose strict travel restrictions. Finnair runs less than 10 % of its normal operations for most of the year, furloughs most of its employees, pays customers over 400 million euros in refunds of cancelled flights, and arranges a 500-million-euro rights issue to improve its equity.
Finnair brings high-quality Taste of Finnair ready-made meals to grocery stores in Finland, to create work for Finnair employees and to remind people of the joys of international travel.
