The main reason behind the decided charge changes is to limit the rapidly widening deficit of the aviation business, which is mainly due to increases in depreciations and costs of energy and materials used. Finavia has reduced costs and staff heavily past couple of years and will be benefiting from the lower cost base in the future when traffic returns.
In total, air traffic charges will increase in average by 5,7% compared to 2024. Passenger charges will increase by an average of 5,8% and landing charges by an average of 6,7%. Aircraft parking charges will increase by 4.9% and the security charges for departing passengers by 4,9%.
If an airport user disagrees with the pricing decision, they may refer the issue to the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency for processing in accordance with the Act on the Airport Network and Airport Charges (210/2011).
