Fintraffic Air Navigation Services Ltd. (Fintraffic ANS), the designated Air Navigation Service Provider for Finland, has launched a comprehensive new digital platform, Fintraffic Sky, developed in collaboration with AstraUTM, a Thales Company. Designed to serve all aviation stakeholders, including pilots, drone operators, and government officials such as Customs and Border Guard authorities, Fintraffic Sky centralizes critical aviation data and services in a single, user-friendly interface.
Fintraffic Sky streamlines the process of filing flight plans and notifying authorities of airspace usage intentions, supporting both manned and unmanned aviation. The platform provides a real-time situational awareness view of Finland's airspace, including active flights and reserved zones.
“This new service enhances the accessibility and usability of our information and tools,” said Raine Luojus, CEO of Fintraffic ANS. “It reflects our commitment to safe, modern, and customer-focused services, aligning with our digital strategy to support the evolving needs of the aviation community.”
The initial architecture of the Fintraffic Sky platform was developed in partnership with leading Finnish IT consultancy Solita. AstraUTM, a Thales Company was selected for their proven Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) solution and user-centric design capabilities. Fintraffic Sky integrates key features such as real-time airspace visualization, advanced flight planning tools, and connectivity with Eurocontrol’s EAD and Network Manager.
“Our journey with Fintraffic has been highly interactive and collaborative,” said Asam Khan, CEO of AstraUTM a Thales Company “This partnership has enabled us to deliver tailored capabilities that not only meet Fintraffic’s goals but also strengthen the foundation for future ATM-UTM integration.”
“The project was carried out with great mutual trust and professionalism,” added Pasi Nikama, Director of Marketing and Customer Relations at Fintraffic ANS. “The synergy between AstraUTM, a Thales Company, Solita, and Fintraffic was instrumental to the project's success.”
Looking ahead, Fintraffic Sky will expand to include full aviation weather data from the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI). The integration will offer innovative weather tools designed to meet the specific needs of both traditional and unmanned aviation sectors.
“We’re thrilled to bring our regulated and commercial weather products to the market through Fintraffic Sky,” said Riikka Pusa of FMI. “It represents a modern, accessible approach to delivering essential meteorological data to all airspace users.”
The national launch in Finland will follow at the Lentoon event on May 24.
