Takeoff – Finnair Trainee Program

Take off your career in aviation with Finnair

Takeoff – Finnair Trainee Program is a unique opportunity to learn more about the aviation industry and Finnair as an organisation. The trainee program brings together the most motivated and dynamic high performers to add their fresh and new insights to a highly competitive and challenging aviation industry. 

As a Finnair trainee, you are a solid part of the team from the very beginning. You will work as a full-time member of our experienced teams and gain practical and hands-on work experience during your trainee program. As a trainee, your responsibilities will depend on your background, capabilities, and own preferences. 

We want you to make the most of your trainee period at Finnair, so in addition to your daily work, you’ll have a chance to get familiar with our different business units, explore the industry from various perspectives and get to know our people across the organisation. And as the cherry on top, you can support each other and share your experiences with your fellow trainees during the program. 

Takeoff is aimed at students and recent graduates from the field of Business, Economics, Technology, or other relevant area. It is a paid, full-time trainee program lasting from 4 to 6 months, starting flexibly in March-May. The trainees work in different teams around the Finnair campus near Helsinki Airport or in a hybrid model combining in-office and remote work.
