Finnair's objective is also to be a first-class commercial enterprise and therefore to be for its shareholders a competitive investment in terms of total return. The aim is to reach this objective through strategic solutions that support the return on capital employed. In terms of a profitability target, this means an operating profit of around six per cent, given the Finnair Group's present capital structure; in other words, an operating profit of around EUR 110-120 million in the next few years.

This approach will be applied in the financial management of all business units. Their impact on the Group as a whole can be assessed from the perspective of the financial added value they produce. The ability of business units to generate financial added value will also guide the development of the Group structure in future. Group operations will enhanced by targeting resources on core operations in scheduled, leisure and cargo traffic.

It is the aim of Finnair's dividend policy to pay on average at least one third of the earnings per share as a dividend during an economic cycle.

Finnair Group's parent company Finnair Plc is listed on the Helsinki Exchanges under the code FIA1S.
