PRB monitoring
▪ Fintraffic ANS has improved in Safety Risk Management in 2024 and achieved the RP3 EoSM targets for all management objectives.
▪ Finland recorded a stable number of safety occurrences, below the Union-wide average.
Effectiveness of Safety Management (EoSM) (KPI#1)
All five EoSM components of the ANSP meet the RP3 EoSM target level. In 2024, significant improvement was observed in “Safety Risk Management” enabling this area to reach the target level. IMPORTANT: EASA/European Commission did not receive the verified questionnaire from the NSA on time. This is an important step to receive confirmation that the self-evaluated questionnaire by the ANSP has been actually verified. It should be sent in due time to allow proper and timely drafting of the Monitoring Report.
Fintraffic ANS already achieved the RP3 targets in four out of five Management Objectives at the start of the reference period and remained at that level throughout RP3. In 2024, Fintraffic improved in Safety Risk Management from level C to level D, achieving the RP3 EoSM targets in all management objectives.

Throughout RP3, Finland recorded a stable rate of RIs, well below the Union-wide average. In 2024, there was a minor increase in the rate of Ris, while remaining at a comparable low level. Airports in the performance plan show a stable and low rate of RIs.
The NSA specified that there is no need for specific mitigation measures.

At the State level, Finland started with a high rate of SMIs, which decreased in 2021 and 2022 and stabilised in the following years. In contrast, Fintraffic recorded an increasing rate of SMIs with ANS contribution during the first three years of RP3 with a peak in 2022. The rate of SMIs dropped in 2023 and remained at the same level in 2024. It is unclear what the source of the difference is.
The NSA specified that there is no need for specific mitigation measures.
Quality of occurences reporting
The number of occurrences reported at State level is for some years less than the occurrences with safety impact and ANS contribution as reported by Finnair. Finland should investigate and resolve the discrepancies.
