A key objective of transport policy is to ensure and support Finland's competitiveness and sustainable economic grovvth, citizens' vvell-being and the smooth functioning of everyday life by ensuring good transport connections. The report emphasises the principles of customer orientation, accessibility, vvell-functioning Systems, efficiency and ali operators' shared responsibility for safety, Security and environment.
Air transport supports Finland's economic grovvth and development opportunities as well as competitiveness. Therefore, public authorities and the aviation Industry develop the sector in close collaboration by making long-term plans and improving the operating environment in a sustainable and grovvth-oriented manner. The needs of passengers and other customers are key considerations in this work.
In airspace and air traffic management, the needs of Civil and military aviation and national defence are ta ke n into account. When implementing this policy, the necessary conditions for military and State aviation operators to perform their statutory duties must be insured.
