The report quoted the "Herbinsic Daily" that since the beginning of 2022, the airline's operating loss has reached 133 million euros, of which 51 million euros are fuel costs.

RT said that after Russia launched special military operations in Ukraine in late February, the European Union and other Western countries closed their lead in Russia. In response, Russia responded to a peer, prohibiting airlines from 36 countries and regions flying over it, including Finnish Airlines.

It is reported that since December 2021, the proportion of fuel costs of Finnish airlines has soared from 30%to 50%in total expenditure. In addition to twice the original fuel prices, the airline also faces the flight route. The report further explained that because Russia closed the lead in Finland, compared with other Scandinavian Navia countries, Finland lost its "key advantage" -the shortest flight distance between China, Japan and South Korea. The report also mentioned that some flights flying to the Asia -Pacific region were canceled, and these flights could have brought 50%of profits to the airline.

In addition, RT also listed other problems encountered by Finnish Airlines -the decline in aircraft passenger capacity, including Russian passengers no longer riding Finnish flights, and in the context of economic instability, the increasing life Cost also caused residents of EU countries to travel to a plane.
