  • 2012 forecast:

Finnair Group: "The continuing uncertainty in the world economy, the seasonal fluctuation in demand as well as continued high price of fuel are reflected in the operational result of first half of the year, which is estimated to be clearly loss making. Finnair's fuel costs are estimated to be significantly higher in 2012 compared to the previous year due to increased capacity and high price of fuel. Cost reductions of EUR80 million out of the total target of EUR140 million are estimated to be achieved by the end of 2012. The realisation of the cost reductions will mainly take place during the second half of the year," Source: Company Statement, 09-Feb-2012.
