If I am not totally mistaken, I believe the Finnish government is planning to set up a partly ministry-financed flight trainin school by expanding Finnair's existing training facilities in Pori. The plan is that in a few years, they would like to have approximately 100-120 new pilots finishing every year, which would be enough to satisfy the coming pilot shortage. I also think that not only Finnair will be allowed to extend their training, but also other schools should be able to train their pilots there.

From a wannabe point of view this is very good initiative from the state, but I am sure private flight schools are not that happy about it..
