Insurance requirement in Finland

In plain language

If you fly for business in Finland you need aviation third-party liability insurance. For hobby flying it is not mandatory by the aviation rules, but household liability insurance often excludes drones, so separate cover is recommended.

Requirement as structured

Insurance against damage arising from aviation is governed by Regulation (EC) No 785/2004 on insurance requirements for air carriers and aircraft operators, and by the air traffic management implementing regulation. Traficom is responsible for the Member State tasks under Article 8 of the aviation insurance regulation.
