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’ 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.

The official alternative route for the Vuosaari road tunnel was tested between 16 and 18 June.

Fintraffic studied the value of the traffic data economy with consultancy firm FLOU in December 2024. According to the study, the value of the traffic data economy in Finland has increased to EUR 500 million, more than EUR 50 million of which is produced by Fintraffic alone (+35% since 2022).

The improvements of the alternative route of the road tunnel leading to Vuosaari Harbour continue according to plan. Following the winter break, the work will continue on week 8 when gabion baskets are installed in the junction of Itäväylä and Kallvikintie.

Experienced air navigation professional Mika Virolainen trains air traffic controllers, develops competence management processes and raises awareness of the impact of human factors throughout air navigation.

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

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.

Twenty new rail traffic controllers graduated at Fintraffic this summer. Each of them has undergone a training period of about six months, including an induction period, a theoretical learning period, a simulation phase and a job orientation phase.

The schedule and method of implementation for the renewal of technical systems in the Vuosaari road tunnel have been established: work in the tunnel will begin with the dismantling of old systems in spring 2025.

In today’s data-driven world, enterprises are increasingly looking for ways to leverage and monetize their data. Data ecosystems, where data is shared and exchanged between different stakeholders, can provide a powerful way to create value from enterprise data.
