Fintraffic’s Air Navigation Services has organised CISM activities as peer support activities in which volunteers in the work community are trained in the CISM method and on encountering a colleague who has encountered a sudden crisis.

Freight traffic volumes continued to grow in July-September, especially in rail traffic.

Fintraffic’s Air Navigation Services Planning Manager and Technical Supervisor Gustav Juslin ensures that air traffic control equipment and systems work as they should.

Finland is introducing special maritime transport security zones for the first time to ensure the safe passage of special transports by organizing other traffic in the area. The first safety zone for special transports was introduced in the Inkoo fairway. In the future, similar arrangements will be extended to merchant shipping lanes throughout Finland’s coastal area.

Flight planning personnel working in the Air Navigation Services FPC are responsible for the distribution of information related to flights and for flight planning.

The alternative route for Vuosaari road tunnel on the section Itäväylä–Kallvikintie–Niinisaarentie–Vuosaari Harbour will be improved during late 2024 and spring 2025. Roadworks on the alternative route begin on Monday, 14 October 2024.  By improving the route, we are preparing for the extensive renovation of the Vuosaari tunnel’s technical features, which begins next year and will last for nearly one year, during which time the alternative route of the tunnel will serve as a detour.

Electric scooters can now be found in the opas.matka.fi journey planner. In the early stages, users can search for scooters on routes in the HSL area for those operators that have provided scooter location and reservation information for journey planners. As safety is top priority for Fintraffic, we would like to remind you of the importance of observing traffic rules. When renting an electric scooter, always make an effort to ensure your own safety and that of your fellow travellers with responsible traffic behaviour.

In Finland, the monitoring and oversight of commercial shipping is a crucial part of ensuring maritime safety and environmental protection. Fintraffic’s VTS centres monitor the movement of cargo and passenger ships along the Finnish coastline around the clock, every day of the year. In the first half of 2024, vessel traffic has for the most part proceeded safely both along the Finnish coast and in nearby international waters.
