GROUP STRATEGY<br />
Most desirable intercontinental airline in the Northern Hemisphere<br />
Finnair aims to become the airline of choice for quality and environmentally conscious air travellers in intercontinental travel in<br />
the Northern Hemisphere. Finnair will pursue its growth strategy based on increasing demand in the traffic between Europe and<br />
Asia and in the future also in the traffic between North America and Asia as well.<br />
Market leader<br />
Finnair is the market leader in air transport to and from Finland as well as in gateway traffic through Finland.<br />
Success factors<br />
Finnair's success factors are safety, Finnishness, freshness and creative. They are timeless and distinguish Finnair from<br />
competitors.<br />
Sustainable, profitable growth<br />
Finnair's business objective is to achieve sustainable and profitable growth. Geographical expectations are placed on the<br />
growing Asian, Scandinavian, Russian and Baltic markets.<br />
Competition strategy<br />
Finnair's competition strategy is based on its high quality of service, its status as one of the most punctual airlines in the industry<br />
and on Europe-Asia traffic where it offers the fastest, most eco-efficient and most convenient connections to Asia's large hubs<br />
from those European cities which do not offer direct flights. The number of Finnair's Asian destinations and flight frequencies as<br />
well as European connections will increase further in the future. Finnair safeguards its strong competitive position by making<br />
effective use of various distribution channels and by developing its services.<br />
Capitalising on e-business<br />
Finnair will improve its competitiveness and cost efficiency by taking advantage of the possibilities e-business offers in its<br />
internal and external processes as well as in e-commerce and customer service.<br />
Capable partner<br />
Finnair is determined to be a capable and active partner that provides added value for its associates. Finnair is an expert on the<br />
Nordic dimension within the oneworld alliance. It is Finnair's aim to consolidate its position by being a pioneer as well as a<br />
developer and user of new technology, in addition to being a beneficiary of the synergies offered by the alliance.<br />
Preferred choice<br />
Finnair's aim is to be the airline of choice for quality and environmentally conscious air travellers in intercontinental travel in the<br />
Northern Hemisphere. Finnair is systematically developing its service concepts based on feedback from its customers. New<br />
technology enables us to provide an increasingly personal and comprehensive service for our clients.<br />
Professional personnel<br />
A professionally skilled, motivated and committed work force is an asset that Finnair values highly. We actively work to promote<br />
job satisfaction as well as staff capabilities in a rapidly changing work environment. A management culture of reward underpins<br />
our personnel strategy.<br />
Corporate and social responsibility<br />
Finnair recognises its role as responsible partner in the society and the communities where it is operating. Finnair wants to be a<br />
responsible world citizen that takes the environment into consideration in everything it does. Finnair is supporting The<br />
International Air Transport Association's, IATA's, target towards zero emissions air transport<br />
Dividend policy<br />
It is the aim of Finnair's dividend policy to pay on average at least one third of the earnings per share as dividend during an<br />
economic cycle.<br />
Financial targets<br />
The basis for setting financial targets is that the company produces added financial value. The target is met if the six per cent<br />
operating profit margin and 17 per cent EBITDAR ratio are surpassed.<br />
