Finnair says hiring 600 flight attendants, pilots to support Asian routes
Finnair said it will take on 600 new flight attendants and pilots by Autumn 2007 to support increased traffic to Asia.
Some 200 of these positions are expected to be filled by existing temporary employees being given permanent roles, Finnair said on the Finnish pages of its website.
Finnair has been cutting jobs in support operations, freeing up resources to expand cabin staff, particularly for Asian routes where it is adding new capacity.
Its Asian traffic grew by 23 pct year-on-year during April-June.
