Why to Join Finnair Virtual?

78x78 Finnair Virtual offers more than a hundred Finnair routes, along with more than a thousand codeshare routes! Our routes capture the best sceneries of the land of thousand lakes, the nightless nights above the polar circle as well as the World’s largest archipelago with over 50.000 islands.
78x78 We are part of OneWorld Virtual family and in partnership with over 40 airlines. This cooperation offers our pilots a wide route network covering all continents and all corners of the World as well as opportunities to fly various aircraft types from turboprops to large double-deckers.
78x78 Our Pilot Community embraces the fun moments and supportive atmosphere as we take the time to improve our skills to become better pilots. We participate in group flights and training sessions organized by our own staff. Our pilots are from all over the Globe and we connect for fun moments on our Discord server on a daily basis. We also race for the highest monthly flight hours in the competition for the title Pilot of the Month. New pilots are always warmly welcomed to our community.
78x76 Ranks? Yes, we have them in our Crew Center to measure pilot activity, but ranks are not prohibiting pilots from flying the fleet on any of our own or codeshare routes. We strongly support transparency, equality and clear guidance to secure fun and professional nordic experience when flying with us. Joining us you will always have company from short hops to overnighters.
