May 18, 2022 at 11:23, updated August 17, 2026 at 14:19

The flight hour statistics include hours flown by type of operation and aircraft. The data are updated once a year. The information is produced by the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency Traficom.

Each owner or user of an aircraft entered in the Transport Register of Finnish Transport and Communications Agency (Traficom) must submit an annual statistical report on previous year's flight hours for each aircraft. Traficom’s flight hours statistics are based on the data in these reports. Annual variations in the response rate may have an impact on the statistics. The figures of the flight hours statistics can be considered indicative.
