The Outlook For 2004

The outlook for the next year is, as so often before, uncertain. We have budgeted for a growth rate of about 3 % in demand. The capacity of the market and confusion around the world will surely affect the accuracy of this estimate in the year just begun as well. As a result of the real reduction in charges, as well as a number of new official regulations, our earnings estimate is slightly lower than for the current year, at about 8 million euros, corresponding to the earnings requirement of 4 % on capital set by the Ministry of Transport and Communications for its infrastructure institutions.
Sat sapienti.

Whilst wishing every customer of the CAA success in business and service and offering our partnership in developing the air traffic service chain, I also wish to thank the CAA staff for their devotion during a year of extreme fluctuations. Your work and your attitude have played their part in helping air traffic in Finland and at our airports to get back on the upward path again, where we hope it will stay, firmly and for a long time to come.
