Finnair has stopped operating its Helsinki-Yekaterinburg and Yekaterinburg-Helsinki flights for the time being. In fact, the airline has recently had to cancel about two hundred domestic and international flights because of a pilot strike. The pilots’ trade union is reported to have clashed with the company’s management.

As for the Helsinki-Yekaterinburg flight, the plane was supposed to have landed in Koltsovo Airport of Yekaterinburg at about 6 AM.
