Bit confused by the timing of this article. The non swastika insignia has been officially used for years now.
Swastikas came off aircraft after WW2 and units still have them on their flags. So this is old news.
However, some Finnish airforce news is:
The last Fokker F27 has been put on display inside the base at Tampere
All learjets are now grey (sadly)
Next year there will be a decision made on the next fighter to replace the Hornet.
Greets from Finland!

But the article refers to the fact that the air force command (and I think training command or similar) still retained the swastika in its crest until the present day, not the insignia worn by aircraft.
You caaan't trust the system... Maaan!
