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 Finnish aviation community is seeking shared solutions and coordinated measures to reduce unruly behaviour. In May, just before the busiest flight season, the community launches a joint campaign titled “Put yourself in flight mode”.

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).

Traffic Management Company Fintraffic’s sustainability programme has been completed.

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.

Europe has one of the safest railway networks in the world – major accidents are rare and significant accidents have decreased over the last two decades. The European Union Agency for Railways has published its 2024 report on railway safety and interoperability on the EU level. Figures shown in the report also demonstrate the safety of Finland’s railways, which is top tier on the European level.

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.

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.

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.

For years traffic and transportation technology has been transforming the society. With the rapid pace of innovation comes new trends and exciting technologies that will take traffic and transportation into the future. Fintraffic's view about future traffic is seen in our Traffic 2030 Vision, in our goal to create the world’s safest and smoothest and lowest emissions traffic in Finland together with our partners. This blog post lists my personal view on TOP 10+1 technology trends that will shape the year 2024 of traffic and transportation.
