  • Topi Manner Soaring from the Banking Industry to the Top of Finnair Balancing a Top Job in the Aviation Sector and Parenting Editor’S Letter
    MAY/JUN. 2019 MAY/JUN. SKY TIMES 017 Heartthrobs in the sky Topi Manner Soaring from the Banking Industry to the Top of Finnair Balancing a Top Job in the Aviation Sector and Parenting Editor’s Letter e all spend longer than we would like waiting around in airports, but we rarely discover anything about our fellow travelers or those who work there. Late April, after a joyful Wvacation with families, we got stranded at the Bali Denpasar Airport by a mechanical failure of the airplane. When everything was fixed, it was already 2:05 a.m. and our flight got canceled because the airport shuts down at 2 a.m. every day. It seemed like a terrible dream. Everybody knows these situations exist but no one wants it to happen to them. This situation reminds me of a book I read several years ago, A Week at the Airport, written by British author Alain de Botton. In it, de Botton explores the magical and the mundane, and the stories that inhabit the airport, the strange ‘non-place’ that we are usually eager to leave. So, next time, when you have to stay at the airport for long hours, why not visit and discover it. Sometimes, spending time in an airport can be more useful and revealing than we might think. So, let’s discover the hostesses’ uniforms first. Up in the air, in the narrow cabin aisles of planes, uniform fashion stands 100 years strong. These attires have never been about uniformity. They can be as colorful as candy, sexy, and glamorous, or even sport a high-tech look more akin to space suits.
