Finnair is a Finnish airline. The company offers a wide range of destinations to and from Europe, and to a large part of the world's continents. The flights are mainly found around the Nordic countries, Europe and Asia. In addition to regular flights, long-haul flights are offered. The company was founded in 1923 and is headquartered in Vantaa, Finland. 

Emirates has not traditionally competed on price, but rather on service and quality. Finnair has cut these from its own operations and is competing mainly with Emirates’ low-cost carrier Fly Dubai. It will be interesting to see if Finnish customers can be found at higher prices. If I had to bet, I’d say no.

Specifically speaking about the Dubai route, I definitely agree that the additional capacity brought by Emirates’ daily wide-body aircraft is significant relative to the probable demand/market size. Thus, I would not be at all surprised if the pricing on said route faces pressure as supply increases when Emirates begins operations. Based on Middle East traffic data and interim reports, I would also suspect that Helsinki-Dubai as an individual route has been quite good for Finnair, as load factors rose high after the termination of Qatar’s flights from Stockholm and Copenhagen, and in my opinion, Middle Eastern average yield levels have also been good. Even though Finnair is a network carrier that optimizes the whole, there have been no onward routes from Dubai and, on the other hand, little potential for connecting traffic via Helsinki purely due to geography, so I believe analyzing the individual route is relevant. Regarding connecting passengers, I also think the competitive landscape is exactly as you described, meaning primarily Finnair/Qatar with a transfer in Doha versus Emirates with a transfer in Dubai towards Asia, Africa, and Oceania. In direct traffic to Dubai or the United Arab Emirates, it’s then Finnair versus Emirates, and in fact, it seems Norwegian is also in the competition with a few weekly frequencies between Helsinki and Dubai operated by narrow-body aircraft.

Antti and Kaisa’s assessment is likely quite accurate considering the big picture, but I personally don’t believe there is room for two wide-body aircraft daily on the Helsinki-Dubai route. Finnair probably doesn’t have many connecting flights to offer from Dubai, whereas with Emirates, you can reach practically anywhere in the Eastern and Southern hemispheres from there. Through Doha, Finnair is able to feed passengers with the help of Qatar Airways to more or less the same routes as Emirates, so Finnair isn’t completely out of the game even after Emirates’ arrival. However, there is starting to be plenty of supply for connecting passengers heading east and south with reasonable layover times offered by Turkish, Qatar, and Emirates—and, of course, the European airlines in addition to these. In this situation, Finnair likely has no choice before the return of Russian overflights other than to try and stay healthy in terms of its balance sheet and bottom line. Just by glancing at a globe, it is easy to see that one cannot get large passenger volumes from Helsinki except in the direction of the east. However, the company cannot survive on Finnish passengers alone.

Here are Antti’s and Kaisa’s comments on how the opening of Emirates’ Helsinki–Dubai route intensifies competition in Finnair’s Middle East traffic. The opening of Emirates’ Helsinki–Dubai route intensifies competition in Finnair’s Middle East traffic, but in our assessment, the direct financial impact of the opening will remain limited. The news does, however, highlight the already challenging competitive environment in long-haul traffic.

Emiratesin Helsinki–Dubai-reitin avaus kiristää kilpailua Finnairin Lähi-idän liikenteessä, mutta avauksen suora taloudellinen vaikutus jää arviomme mukaan rajalliseksi.

Here are Antti and Kaisa’s comments on Finnair’s December traffic data.  Finnair published its traffic report for December on Thursday. Overall, the report was slightly stronger than our expectations, as passenger volumes slightly exceeded our forecasts, although the passenger load factor fell slightly more than we expected. We will update our Q4 estimates for Finnair if necessary before the financial statements bulletin, which the company will publish on Wednesday, February 11.

In December 2024, there was indeed a two-day pilots’ strike. In addition to this, the figures for that month were affected by a shorter IAU walkout as well as pilots’ bans on standby and overtime.

So, were there as many as two days of strike and a Finnair lockout that prevented employees from working?
