FINNAIR Corporate Programme – Terms of agreement FINLAND GENERAL These are the terms of agreement of the Finnair Corporate Programme (hereinafter “the Programme”). The Programme is designed for companies to allow management of their flights. All companies registered in Finland that regularly purchase Finnair flights and which have not entered into a separate agreement with Finnair Plc (hereinafter “Finnair”) are eligible for membership. However, membership is not open to companies that sell flights. Membership is company-specific, and companies belonging to the same group or to other consortiums are required to enrol in the Programme separately. Each company is entitled to enrol in the Programme with only one customer number. For the membership, a company shall appoint one of its employees as a contact person (hereinafter “Contact Person”). The Contact Person shall affirm in the registration form that he or she is entitled to enter into an agreement on behalf of the company. The Contact Person shall make sure that the company information provided to Finnair is correct. All communication between the company and Finnair regarding the Programme shall be carried out through the Contact Person.

The company’s customer number, username and password remain the same throughout the membership period unless Finnair otherwise notifies the company of changes to these either by e-mail or in writing. The company may choose to begin the agreement from either the month of registration or the month following registration. If the company chooses the month following registration, only flights used after the registration date will be eligible.

In this case, the respective company shall no longer be entitled to the discounted fare (hereinafter “Corporate Fare”) provided by the Programme. If the company in question has another, separate agreement with Finnair, the flights registered in the Programme will not be considered when defining the reductions according to such separate agreement.
