Takeoff – Finnair Trainee Program will start flexibly in spring

The trainee period starts flexibly in spring. However, the starting time can vary depending on the business needs and also your study schedule. The trainee period lasts from 4 to 6 months.

The monthly salary for the trainee period is €3,000. All trainees have the same salary.

We support the health and wellbeing of our employees through our own Sickness Fund insurance benefit, gyms around the Finnair campus and activities organised by our hobby clubs. We are also happy to offer our employees a discount on Finnair-operated flights.

Depending on your position, you will work around the Finnair campus near Helsinki Airport or in a hybrid work model combining in-office and remote work. Please note that as a trainee, you cannot work solely remotely.

Some trainees have continued to work with us part-time, permanently, or as Master’s Thesis workers after their trainee period.

Yes, you can. However, you must have the right to work and live in Finland during the trainee program without sponsorship from Finnair. If you currently live abroad, you can participate in the interview via Teams.
