The Finnish companies are still hesitant though and are afraid that the crisis is not over yet. Many big corporations have switched from Business Class to Economy Class as we have also realized in other countries. Low cost carriers are going through a boom period and are becoming a big competitor again. We have also observed that the trends are industry-specific.
