Aerial surveillance of forest fires in Northern Finland 2027

Summary

This is a market survey and market dialogue for aerial surveillance of forest fires in Northern Finland, not a request for tenders. The planned service would cover three flight routes and involve regular aircraft-based monitoring by trained personnel to detect forest, grassland and peat-production-area fires. Flights must follow Finnish national aviation regulations, including OPS M1-34, and Ministry of the Interior instructions. Interested companies should register their contact details by 23 September 2026 at kilpailutus@hansel.fi, using the specified email subject. The planned contracts are intended to start on 1 January 2027 and last for one surveillance season; the information is preliminary and may change.
