Fintraffic is responsible for road, rail, sea and air traffic control in Finland. In 2025, traffic control services helped to prevent major accidents, improved punctuality and reduced traffic emissions. This improvement in efficiency has saved our society millions.

Fintraffic’s Air Navigation Services (ANS) is enhancing its air traffic control training by combining the real world with a virtual one through extended reality (XR) technology.

The closures of the airspace of St. Petersburg have temporarily increased traffic in Finnish airspace. There has also been a slight increase in the number of overflights, and positive developments are observable in international traffic. The total volumes of road traffic early this year remained at the same level as in the previous year despite increased fuel prices. The total volume of train traffic increased moderately in both commuter and long-distance traffic.

In 2025, Fintraffic’s VTS Centres prevented eight merchant shipping vessels from potentially running aground and stopped near-misses from turning into accidents. The year was marked by GNSS disruptions on satellite positioning systems, which caused trouble for vessels traversing the Gulf of Finland.

Emissions from traffic can also be reduced by keeping vehicles moving. Fintraffic reduces emissions by improving road traffic flow through predictive disruption alerts and speed management, and by coordinating flight routes and landings to minimise unnecessary waiting and acceleration.

Work on the tunnel has progressed well on schedule during the first three months. Work on the tunnel is in full swing. It’s being carried out in two shifts and there are about 50 people on site. The demolition work is nearly complete and we've been able to start building the new structure.

2025 brought a number of transport-related challenges, including unpredictable geopolitical turmoil, quickly shifting weather conditions and numerous disruptions. These circumstances emphasise the key task of Fintraffic – ensuring safe, smooth and reliable flow of traffic across all modes of transport.

The busiest day for Easter traffic, Maundy Thursday (2 April), is approaching and thousands of people in Finland are preparing to set off for the holidays. Check the Easter road traffic forecasts now and read the current tips for Easter traffic to ensure that you will have a safe and smooth journey.

Remote pilotage is one of the core focus areas of the NELSON project. By exploring how pilotage services can be supported or partially delivered remotely using advanced digital tools, situational awareness systems, and secure communication links, NELSON aims to improve flexibility in maritime operations and to support adoption of remote pilotage.
