Finnair's domestic terminal lounge at Helsinki Airport to close for redevelopment

Finnair Plus Platinum, Gold and Silver cardholders can in future use the other lounge facilities in the Schengen terminal. The Golden Gate Lounge is situated above Gates 28 and 29 and the Silver Wings Lounge above Gates 26 and 26A.

SSP Finland's lounge facilities, on the other hand, are at the disposal of Finnair's business class passengers. The Gateway Lounge is located opposite Gates 28 and 29, and the Tower Lounge above Gate 25.

In future some of the lounge facilities will provide service for extended open hours so that they will also be available to passengers of flights departing at midnight.

The changes are due to the extensive redevelopment under way at Helsinki-Vantaa, by which Finnair, Finncomm Airlines and oneworld alliance companies will centralise all their flight operations in the present international terminal T2 as of 05-Aug-09. The present domestic terminal T1, on the other hand, will be transferred to the use of other airlines.
