Accessibility of Finnair.com

Accessibility status 

Welcome to the accessibility statement for Finnair.com. We aim to make our services more accessible for everyone and are working continuously towards improvement. Our design and development process for new features always takes accessibility as a starting point. We are continually improving the digital user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards. The accessibility statement of Finnair.com is regularly updated. 

This statement describes the conformance of Finnair.com according to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) that define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. Finnair.com is partially conformant and close to meeting WCAG 2.2 conformance Level AA requirements. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content, for example, colour contrasts and error messages, do not fully conform to the accessibility standards. Some of the pages do not fully support assistive technology such as screen readers. Feedback on this evaluation is welcome.
