Work and training
Airline pilots in Finland work mainly for Finnair and its subsidiary Norra, and graduates of Finnish pilot training are also hired by foreign airlines. Finnair pilots' terms are agreed between the employers' federation Palta and the Finnish Air Line Pilots' Association (SLL), which reached a negotiated result in June 2025. The commercial pilot licence (CPL) is issued by Traficom and is needed to apply to an airline. Training is given by organisations approved by Traficom, such as the Finnish Aviation Academy, whose airline pilot course takes about 26 months. Pilots renew their medical fitness approval every year.
