Flying a drone is only allowed in unrestricted areas

In recent weeks, there has been discussion about sightings of suspicious drones near critical infrastructure, among other places. Finland has many prohibited and restricted areas where flying a drone is not allowed, which include nuclear power plants and areas important for national defence, preparedness and the central government, for example. Prohibitions and restrictions can also be imposed based on temporary needs. When preparing to go out to fly a drone, always make sure in advance that you are actually allowed to fly on your planned route.
