Now running into its second year, the Helsinki Airport development programme has brought many visible changes to the airport. 2015 see's a new rail connection, renovation of one of the three runways and preparations for future stages of the programme. “Helsinki Airport’s large-scale development programme continues to advance in 2015. Launched in spring 2014, the programme aims for a major overhaul of the airport’s services, facilities and traffic arrangements”, says Airport Director Ville Haapasaari and SVP of Finavia Corporation. The extensive development programme will increase the airport’s passenger capacity to 20 million by 2020. Helsinki Airport has already established itself as the leading transfer hub in Northern Europe; last year, the airport’s passenger numbers exceeded 16 million for the first time. In coming years, the airport is looking for growth in the increasing traffic between Europe and Asia. According to Haapasaari, one of the biggest and most anticipated changes in 2015 is the new rail connection from the airport to central Helsinki. “Opening in July 2015, the rail connection will bring passengers to Helsinki’s Central Railway Station in 30 minutes. The new Ring Rail line will make it a convenient connecting point also for passengers arriving by train from St Petersburg in Russia”, he says. The new rail connection makes travelling between central Helsinki and the airport fast and convenient, providing transfer passengers with an easy way to add a short visit to the city into their layovers. The construction of new parking spaces is also currently underway. The expansion of the P5 parking garage will bring almost 3,000 new parking spaces to the airport. The expansion work will be completed in summer 2016. Improvements to airport infrastructure also continue in the coming year. During the 2015 summer months, the airport’s runway 1 will undergo a complete renovation. The work will be carried out in May-July 2015, and with two of the airport’s three runways in use, it is expected to bring little change to the airport’s operation.
