Moving to Pirkkala has progressed efficiently. The decision of moving to Pirkkala was published in June 2016 and the topping out ceremony was held in March 2017 at the final phase of construction. At the ceremony on 8 March 2017 the operators of the training centre, Patria and Tredu were present with stakeholders from Finavia and the cities of Tampere and Pirkkala.
