Helsinki Airport’s new shopping complex enhances the service offering considerably

The airport now has nearly one hundred service points. Opened a month ago, the new shopping complex has select shops, which represent the very best Finnish products and famous international brands.

The new shops and restaurant complex are located near Gates 32–36 in the long-haul flight area, which serves departures to Asia and the US as well as non-Schengen countries in Europe. The service points are open in line with flight schedules from 7am-8pm. Some have longer business hours.

Renovation work continues at Helsinki Airport

Additional service points will be opened in November, when the facilities in Terminal 1 are completed. At the beginning of December, new passenger facilities and luxurious spa will open in the long-haul flights area.

Renovation of the older terminal sections was begun in August and will continue for a couple years. The first phase of basic renovations will be completed in March 2010, when some of the new check-in facilities in Terminal 2 will open.
