Oct 16, 2013 (newstodate): Expecting to be handling up to 20 million passengers annually in the next decade, Finland's airport operator Finavia is planning for a major development programme at Helsinki Airport.
To be realized between 2014 and 2020, the development programme will focus on increasing check-in and transit travel capacity and on improving traffic arrangements.
The development programme will start in Terminal 2 with improvements in the check-in area. At the same time, more detailed design work will start and final decisions on priorities concerning the new facilities will be made.
Construction of the new infrastructure is expected to start in 2015. One option being considered by Finavia is the construction of a satellite terminal adjacent to Terminal 2. Finavia is also planning to extend Terminal 2 into existing car park areas.
In addition to the development programme, Finavia will carry out repairs and maintenance at Helsinki Airport, at its most important provincial airports and in air navigation services.
These works will include paving of runways and terminal maintenance.
In 2012, Helsinki Airport handled a total of 14.9 mio passengers as well as 192,204 tonnes of air cargo.
