The new south pier of Helsinki Airport was opened for passengers and air traffic on Monday, 10 July. The first flight from the majestic south pier departed from gate 54 to New York, operated by Finnair.
Before the first section of Helsinki Airport's terminal addition, the south pier, was taken into use around 200 volunteers took up the task to test the functionality and verify that everything is working as it should. How did it go?
The next phase of Finavia’s gigantic investment at Helsinki Airport will begin when the airport’s check-in and arrivals halls and public transport connections are revamped. At the beginning of 2020, a completely new area serving air passengers will be completed in front of the current terminal.
Air travel will soon be even smoother and more straightforward. Helsinki Airport now features new, comfortable spaces full of light as well as new and diverse services. It is growing and developing in the upcoming years more than ever before.
