Accessibility of Finnair.com

Conformance status

Finnair is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the digital user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

This accessibility statement describes the conformance of the Finnair.com website according to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) that defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

Based on this evaluation, the Finnair.com website is partially conformant and close to meeting WCAG 2.1, Conformance Level AA requirements.

Partially conformant means that some parts of the content, for example, colour contrasts, 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.

We want our website and services to be accessible to everyone. Therefore, we are continuously evaluating and improving our website and services. The audits are ongoing, and the accessibility statement of Finnair.com is regularly updated.
