Facemask policy on our flights

As of 25 April 2022, passengers are no longer required to wear a face mask on Finnair flights, unless it is specifically required by the authorities of the destination or origin country or the operating airline. 

On flights where using a mask is an authority requirement, passengers are required to wear a mask throughout the flight. Passengers can remove the mask for a short, limited time when eating or drinking.  

On all other Finnair flights, masks are voluntary for both crew and passengers. The aircraft is a low-risk environment, thanks to the effective air conditioning. Passengers can choose to wear a mask while travelling to have additional protection for personal reasons. FFP2 and FFP3 masks are proven to give excellent, more than 95% protection, even if others around are not using masks. 

It is recommended that passengers check the mask requirements in their origin and destination countries before traveling from the local authorities’ websites for details or from a travel update at finnair.com.
