A new role and a new name

Finavia is here to serve its customers

At the start of 2006, in compliance with the requirements of the new Constitution of Finland and the new State Enterprise Act, the business operations and public authority tasks of aviation were separated from each other. The Civil Aviation Administration, under its new operational name Finavia, continues its operations as a state-owned enterprise. As a result of its clarified role, Finavia has the opportunity to focus better on its service operations and the needs of its customers.

The public authority tasks of aviation are managed by the Finnish Civil Aviation Authority, which comes under the Ministry of Transport and Communications.

Finavia offers internationally competitive airport and air navigation services. There are 25 airports in the airport network it maintains: 18 civilian airports, four joint military and civilian airports and three military airports. The network links all of Finland’s key economic areas to the Helsinki region.

Finavia is responsible for the air navigation systems covering the entire country. In 2006, Finavia was designated
as the air traffic services provider for the Finnish flight information region, in accordance with the new EU requirements.

Finavia has a good and efficient infrastructure as well as safe, high-quality and cost effective air traffic services. These together help create the foundation for the competitiveness, mobility and international reach of the Finnish people – and the entire Finnish society.
