    Helsinki – Joensuu/ Jyväskylä/ Kajaani/ Kemi/ Kokkola APPENDIX 8 TRAFICOM/535299/02.03.01/2020 AIRLINE PASSENGER SERVICE COMMITMENT Airlines in Europe have developed the Airline Passenger Service Commitment following consultation with representatives of air travellers, European governments and the European Commission. Strong competition between airlines has provided Europe’s air travellers with an increased choice of airline, airport, price and service. The Airline Passenger Service Commitment contains non- legally binding commitments to deliver defined standards of service to air travellers. The code covers 14 areas: services provided before travel, during travel and after travel. It describes the level of service air travellers may expect consistently from signatory airlines. It will enable air travellers to make a more informed choice of airline when planning their travel arrangements. The airlines that are signatories to this Airline Passenger Service Commitment will continue to compete vigorously to meet the needs of customers by offering different products and different levels of customer service. They will endeavour to achieve the standards set out in this Airline Passenger Service Commitment on the most consistent basis possible. Signatory airlines will each develop their own individual service plans incorporating the Airline Passenger Service Commitment. Signatory airlines will establish staff training programmes and introduce changes to their computer systems to better implement the Airline Passenger Service Commitment. During this implementation period, some elements of the Airline Passenger Service Commitment may not be delivered by every airline. Signatory airlines agree to: 1. Offer the lowest fare available through each of its direct outlets a) Each airline will offer the lowest appropriate fare available for which the passenger is eligible through its own telephone reservation system, through its own website and through its own ticket offices for the date, flight and class of service requested.

    FINNISH LOCAL V IEW ON THE FACTORS ACCOUNTING FOR THE COSTS OF W EATHER-RELATED DISASTERS (SPECIFICALLY, FLOODS AND STORMS) IN RECENT DECADES AND IMPLICATIONS OF UNDERSTANDING THESE FOR BOTH RESEARCH AND POLICY Jaakko Helminen Finnish Meteorological Institute P.O. Box 503 FI-00101 Helsinki, Finland email: [email protected] 1. Introduction s the factors accounting for the costs of weather-related disasters (specifically, floods and storms) in recent decades and the implications of understanding these for both research and policy are considered in the Finnish context. The climatology of the pertinent weather phenomena are discussed also with some A outlook to the scenarios. Here some possible future shifts in both flood and storm types causing damages and losses are pointed out. In addition some policy issues are discussed as this seems to be another pertinent point. 2. Factors in weather-related disasters 2.1 Floods Since 1960 (Puupponen, 2006) in terms of house damage costs the three most severe flood episodes in Finland have occurred as follows. Spring 1966 – Southern Finland: This spring flood has been since 1969 the highest flood in the rivers of Southern Finland. The water equivalent of the snow at the beginning of April was still widely 200 – 250 mm which was roughly double compared with the normal value and in fact a record value. The melting of the snow was postponed to a late time point around 1 May. Consequently the recurrence value of the observed flood flows exceeded in several drainage basins 100 years in terms of a Gumbel distribution estimate. No exact damage data are available, but in relation to later damage inventories the probable cost level has been of the order of 10 million euros.

Introduction In the era of knowledge-based economy the regional or local knowledge environment and innovation environments for specific business areas have become more important. In the knowledge-based economy the base of knowledge constantly evolves institutionally. The institutional evolvement actualizes itself by linking different kinds of knowledge-creation institutions to the knowledge-exploitation organizations and sub-systems through new kinds of knowledge-enhancing mechanisms, and mainly from R&D conducted in relation to regional capabilities (Cooke and Leydesdorff, 2004). Furthermore, new institutions are taking part in the local innovation networks, shaping the technological change and transformation in the region for the benefits of all parties, local businesses, universities or other higher education institutions and local/ national development authorities. If a region has only little formal and informal research and a few development institutions and particularly little interaction between them, actors find it more difficult to transform information (resources) into new knowledge and innovations.

  • A Fugitive Success That Finland Is Quickly Becoming a Victim of Its Own Success
    Professor Charles Sabel from Columbia Law School and Professor AnnaLee Saxenian from UC Berkeley argue in their book A Fugitive Success that Finland is quickly becoming a victim of its own success. In recent decades Finnish firms in the forest products and telecommunications industries have become world leaders. But the kind of discipline that made this success possible, and the public policies that furthered it, is unlikely to secure it in the future. Efficiency improvements and incremental A Fugitive Success innovations along the current business trajectory will gradually lead these industries into a dead-end unless they use innovation as a vehicle for transforming themselves into new higher value businesses. Saxenian and Sabel raise some serious concerns about the readiness of these industries, and the Finnish innovation system as a whole, for the needed transformation. A Fugitive Success is required reading for A Fugitive Success those involved in the development of the Finnish innovation environment and Finland’s Economic Future implementing the new national innovation strategy.

  • Aircraft Accident at Kajaani Airport, Finland, 3. November 1994
    Aircraft accident at Kajaani Airport, Finland, 3. November 1994 Micro-summary: This McDonnell Douglas MD-83 left the runway on landing. Event Date: 1994-11-03 at 0657 local Investigative Body: Finland Accident Investigation Board (AIB), Finland Investigative Body's Web Site: http://www.onnettomuustutkinta.fi/ Cautions: 1. Accident reports can be and sometimes are revised. Be sure to consult the investigative agency for the latest version before basing anything significant on content (e.g., thesis, research, etc). 2. Readers are advised that each report is a glimpse of events at specific points in time. While broad themes permeate the causal events leading up to crashes, and we can learn from those, the specific regulatory and technological environments can and do change. Your company's flight operations manual is the final authority as to the safe operation of your aircraft! 3. Reports may or may not represent reality. Many many non-scientific factors go into an investigation, including the magnitude of the event, the experience of the investigator, the political climate, relationship with the regulatory authority, technological and recovery capabilities, etc. It is recommended that the reader review all reports analytically. Even a "bad" report can be a very useful launching point for learning. 4. Contact us before reproducing or redistributing a report from this anthology.

  • Introduction Recruitment
    Recruitment Case #1 (FIN2019): How to attract young graduates through university collaborations Abstract This case study focuses on SMEs and their university relations. Based on literature used for this case study, the difference in the needs of generation Z compared to previous generations must be addressed if SMEs want to attract young talent. To learn more about this, a survey was conducted with university students, and interviews were held both with university students and the case study company’s CEO and HR manager. The survey results concurred with what was learned from literature, and based on the survey and interviews, recommendations were made. Recommendations included practical ways for SMEs to attract a younger workforce, such as attending university events as guest speakers and advertising jobs on an application meant for university students, as well as a checklist for maintaining and increasing existing visibility among the potential workforce. Introduction In this case study we will focus on SMEs and university relations. The study will include a survey for university students, interviews with the case study company’s managers and university teachers, which will be the base for recommendations for the company to improve collaboration with the university and attract young talent. ABC Oy is a data centre company that provides cloud services and software solutions and works with artificial intelligence. The company was established in 2011 and is part of the DEF Group, which is one of the oldest companies in the region. DEF Group started as a telecommunications provider in 1898 and has developed into a cooperation that offers information and communication services1.
