Fintraffic Sky streamlines the process of filing flight plans and notifying authorities of airspace usage intentions, supporting both manned and unmanned aviation. The platform provides a real-time situational awareness view of Finland’s airspace, including active flights and reserved zones.
The new digital platform was developed by Fintraffic Air Navigation Services Ltd. (Fintraffic ANS), the designated Air Navigation Service Provider for Finland, in collaboration with the data and AI-driven technology company Solita and AstraUTM, a Thales Company.
“This new service enhances the accessibility and usability of our information and tools,” said Raine Luojus, CEO of Fintraffic ANS. “It reflects our commitment to safe, modern, and customer-focused services, aligning with our digital strategy to support the evolving needs of the aviation community.”
The initial architecture of the Fintraffic Sky platform was developed in partnership with the technology company Solita. AstraUTM, a Thales Company, was selected for its proven Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) solution and user-centric design capabilities. Fintraffic Sky integrates key features such as real-time airspace visualisation, advanced flight planning tools, and connectivity with Eurocontrol’s EAD and Network Manager.
“Our journey with Fintraffic has been highly interactive and collaborative,” said Asam Khan, CEO of AstraUTM, a Thales Company. “This partnership has enabled us to deliver tailored capabilities that not only meet Fintraffic’s goals but also strengthen the foundation for future ATM-UTM integration.”
“We are proud to support Fintraffic in creating a future-oriented service that brings real-time data and ease of use for all airspace users. As drones and other unmanned aerial vehicles become more common, intelligent data platforms like Fintraffic Sky are essential for integrating them safely into the broader traffic ecosystem,” said Ossi Lindroos, CEO, Solita.
“The project was carried out with great mutual trust and professionalism,” added Pasi Nikama, Director of Marketing and Customer Relations at Fintraffic ANS. “The synergy between AstraUTM, a Thales Company, Solita, and Fintraffic was instrumental to the project’s success.”
Looking ahead, Fintraffic Sky will expand to include full aviation weather data from the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI). The integration will offer innovative weather tools designed to meet the specific needs of both traditional and unmanned aviation sectors.
“We’re thrilled to bring our regulated and commercial weather products to the market through Fintraffic Sky,” said Riikka Pusa of FMI. “It represents a modern, accessible approach to delivering essential meteorological data to all airspace users.”
