FINNISH COMPETITION AUTHORITY LAUNCHES INVESTIGATION WITHIN FINNAIR CATERING INTO PRICE COOPERATION OF AIRPORT SHOPS

FINNAIR PLC	STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE	8.12.2010 AT 16.15
The Finnish Competition Authority has today launched an investigation within
Finnair Catering. The investigation relates to claimed price cooperation
between Finnair Catering's and Finnavia's airport shops. 
Last week, Finnair initiated a review in accordance with the principles of
internal auditing after a former employee's claims relating to price
cooperation were publicly reported. Preliminary findings have uncovered nothing
illegal, but the internal review will continue. 
Finnair Catering is assisting the authorities with their investigation.
