Kasvufoorum 2025, which took place in Helsinki in January, brought together smart traffic experts to discuss cooperation, innovations and the way Finland can use its full potential for building a competitive and data-driven future.

The police and Fintraffic work closely together to ensure smooth and safe traffic, especially in exceptional situations.

Commuter train traffic in Finland grew strongly in Q4/2024. This growth can be attributed to the completion of the Tikkurila railyard and the new route on the Karjaa–Hanko line.

A wide variety of aviation operators responded to the survey, ranging from strategic partners in air navigation and flight schools to smaller airport operators and general aviation representatives. This year, the total number of respondents and the percentage of pilots among respondents was slightly lower than in the previous year. On the other hand, the overall cooperation score for Fintraffic's Air Navigation Services increased slightly, rising to 4.0 this year (2023: 3.8).

It is the task of air traffic control to anticipate the effects of winter weather conditions and runway closures on the ground and in the air. If necessary, air traffic is controlled to provide realistic runway time for each arriving and departing flight.

Luxembourg Air Navigation Administration, which is responsible for air navigation services in Luxembourg, has simulated new air traffic control working methods in Finland.

A new working method concept will be validated for Luxembourg’s air traffic control in Fintraffic’s air navigation simulators. The aim will be to obtain data on new working methods on the basis of which their practical functionality and prerequisites for operational deployment can be verified.

Digirail and Mipro Oy have signed an agreement to supply external controllers to Digirail’s first commercial track section (the so-called EKA track section), on the Lielahti-Rauma/Pori line.

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

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.

The new Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) of the European Union, which entered into force last September, sets increasingly stringent requirements for corporate sustainability reporting. This is also reflected in Fintraffic’s operations, where collection of data in accordance with the new requirements will commence in 2025. The first CSRD-compliant report is due to be published the following year.

The Destia Winter Maintenance Management Centre utilises the road weather information provided by Fintraffic on a daily basis, all year round. Fintraffic road weather data makes it possible to carry out maintenance measures in the road network in a timely manner. This helps to save costs.

From 3 July 2024, the Data for Road Safety ecosystem will provide drivers with more comprehensive situational information on Finnish roads: vehicle manufacturers and other parties belonging to the Data for Road Safety ecosystem will be able to share Fintraffic's traffic announcements in their own navigation systems via POST Luxembourg.
