About us

The meeting that started the idea of IVAO Finland and the initial plan was made on January 26th 2006.

On that day, there were only three persons in the meeting. Despite low human resources, the operation started quickly. Soon after, other members were asked to join and we had the necessary people needed to develop the division to it's current condition.

Now we are pleased to present our staff, which will be at your service to all your questions regarding IVAO activities!
