Nov 17, 2011 (newstodate): In light of the softening aviation market, Finavia is adjusting the changes to air traffic fees for 2012.
In 2012, the air traffic fees collected from air traffic operators will increase by 1.6 percent instead of the 6.2 percent previously announced.
-The goal of keeping the air traffic fees low is to improve, in the current weakening economic situation, the operating preconditions of airlines that operate in Finland. For Finavia, it is essential that Finland has good flight connections both at home and abroad, Finavia says in an announcement.
The reduced increase in fees will first of all benefit Finland's national carrier Finnair that accounts for the bulk of flight operations to and from the country, including notably operations to the Asian markets.
