Change in Management for Finnair Flight Operations Division

A change has taken place in the leadership of Finnair's Flight Operations Division. The new Senior Vice President, Flight Operations Division, has been named as Boeing MD11 fleet Captain Veikko Sievänen, who served for many years as Chief Pilot.

The present Senior Vice President of Flight Operations, Hannes Bjurström, has requested his resignation as of the end of October.

Veikko Sievänen's appointment has required the approval also of the Finnish Flight Safety Authority, because he is Finnair's so-called Post Holder, Flight Operations, reporting to the Finnish aviation authorities.

Within Finnair, Veikko Sievänen reports to the company's Deputy CEO and head of Scheduled Passenger Traffic, Henrik Arle, and also takes a place on the Finnair Group Board of Directors.
