Rail and road traffic increased in Finland towards the end of the year. Passenger numbers increased for commuter trains and long-distance services, and the number of passenger cars and vans on roads also grew year over year. On the other hand, the number of aircraft flying over Finnish airspace is historically low. At the same time, use of Fintraffic’s digital services grew by almost 30 per cent, and the Fintraffic App reached 130,000 downloads.

The cooperation between the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency and Fintraffic is one of the backbones of the Finnish transport system. The partnership ensures smooth, safe and efficient mobility on roads, rails and at sea while providing significant added value to Finnish society.

What does “Export as a Service” mean in practice? Accelerating export-driven growth is an important part of the task assigned to Fintraffic by the Ministry of Transport and Communications. What have we done to promote the export efforts of Finnish companies in practice? Let’s hear it from companies that are members of the export cluster coordinated by Fintraffic.

The objectives of Fintraffic’s Air Navigation Services for 2026 focus on legal compliance, digitalisation of aviation, and promoting staff well-being and competencies.

Fintraffic's Air Navigation Services aims to continuously improve the flow and predictability of its services with customers in mind. For this reason, the customer satisfaction survey, which was carried out in a similar way for years, has undergone a complete overhaul this year.

The Act on Digital Information Services in the Transport System was ratified last Friday. The Act, effective from 2026, increases Fintraffic’s responsibilities, further focussing its role in controlling traffic data across Finland.

In the third quarter, the use of Fintraffic digital services grew by more than 60%, and the Fintraffic Mobile application crossed the 100,000-download mark. The application brings up-to-date traffic information directly to the user’s phone. There was a moderate increase in the volume of passenger rail traffic and a decrease in freight traffic. The winter forecast for seasonal traffic in Lapland is positive, and air traffic is expected to continue its growth.

Fintraffic’s Air Navigation Services’ Flight Planning Centre (FPC) was established 15 years ago. Its purpose was to centralise support for air navigation services nationally at a single location. The Flan Planning Centre is a unique entity in Finland, and there is no equivalent anywhere in Europe. To celebrate the FPC’s anniversary, we are taking a look at how centralised flight planning services have been built over the years up to today.

Amendments to the Aviation Act will enter into force on 1 September 2025, also affecting the permission process for obstacles to air navigation.
