FINNAIR PLC   STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE   9.12.2010  23.20

The Association of Support Service Industries and the Finnish Cabin Crew Union
(SLSY) have accepted a settlement proposal on the collective agreement of
Finnair's cabin staff. Following the settlement, the cabin crew strike thatbegan on Tuesday last week will also end. Most of Finnair's traffic will return
to normal during the weekend. "It's good that a solution has finally been reached. The most important thing
is to get aircraft moving again and to end the strike that has inconvenienced
our customers. Our cabin staff, who do excellent work, also want to get back to
work," says Finnair's President & CEO Mika Vehviläinen. "The new agreement ensures that we can reduce costs through improved work
productivity. We obtained necessary structural changes in long-haul traffic
important for us," says Vehviläinen.
