Reminder: Building the future of HEL: world premiere and live implementation of Helsinki-Airport’s brand new long-haul expansion

Finavia experienced its most successful year in 2018. Helsinki Airport reached a new passenger record of 20 million in December 2018, and is getting ready to serve 30 million with the ongoing development programme worth over 1 billion euro. Helsinki Airport is now facing its next completion in the beginning of February 2019, when Aukio, the new central plaza and heart of the long-haul expansion of Helsinki Airport, will be opened.

We want to welcome representatives of the media to experience the new terminal facilities among the very first ones and follow the Aukio’s final implementation test, including 200 volunteer test passengers, live on site on 6th February 2019.

Programme:

9 am meeting at T2 departures hall, corner of WHS Smith, host Maija Ilvonen Finavia Communications

After the testing and lunch, it is possible to arrange eg a terminal or apron tour or other aviation related depending on your interests. Finavia will cover one night accommodation near the airport to foreign journalists before the media event. Details will be sent to confirmed participants.

If you haven't confimed your participation yet, we kindly ask you to do so by 1 February via e-mail to our Media Desk at comms@finavia.fi. We can accommodate max 15 media representatives.
