  19. Industrial action and weather disrupted traffic at turn of the year • In December, illegal walkout by loading workers • Over 80% of baggage handled normally • flights delayed and some cancelled • further disruptions after walkout • nearly 7 million euros in losses • In January, Central European weather disrupted air traffic • turn of the year challenging due to large passenger numbers, terminal change and problematic weather • baggage congested at all European airports

  22. Finnair's strategy working • Asia-Europe strategy based on Via Helsinki concept is working; geographical advantage a lasting competitive advantage • Growing affluence in Asia presents huge growth potential • Passenger numbers have grown from 0.3 million in 2001, to over 1.1 million in 2009 • Finnair's Asian traffic accounted for 3.7% of Finland's GDP growth in 2002–2007 • Created more than 4,000 jobs in Finnair alone • 8,000 new jobs by 2015 • Without Asian strategy, company would be only half of present size • Modern fleet • Indicators show operational and service quality at a high level
