FINNAIR CONTINUES ASSESSING RESTRUCTURING OPTIONS FOR GROUND HANDLING


As a part of the Group's restructuring and improvement of profitability,
Finnair will continue to assess the restructuring of its ground handling
operations as well as its wholly-owned ground handling company Northporth Oy
and its subsidiaries as stated in October 2006. 

Thus far the assessments have led to the transfer of domestic airport ground
handling operations to RTG Group as of 1 April 2007 in the manner made public
last week. 

Assessment will continue during the second quarter for other business areas ie
Helsinki, Stockholm and Oslo ground operations.
