The Finnish Air Traffic Controllers Association represents Finnish ATCO´s by attending to the professional, juridicial and social interests of it´s members and by promoting safety and flexibility in air traffic. The association was founded in 1952 making 2002 it´s 50th anniversary. Since it´s founding the association has acted on behalf of safety in air traffic control and represents approximately 90% of Finnish ATCO´s (total number of members roughly 260).
