Helsinki-Vantaa International Airport to Undertake Renovation of Third Runway and Taxiways

Finavia, the operator of Helsinki-Vantaa International Airport, will carry out renovation works on the airport’s third runway and taxiways.

From April 15 to June 12, the runway will be closed for renovations, including an upgrade of the lighting system. Additionally, surface repairs on the taxiways will also be conducted.

As the operations of the two other runways will continue, adequate operational capacity will be maintained. During the construction period, the approach for landing will change, with planes landing on the second runway from the northwest and on the first runway from the northeast. Departing flights will take off from the first runway towards the southwest. Low-noise aircraft may also take off from the second runway in a southerly direction.

The third runway, completed in 2002, is the newest of the airport’s runways. It has a length of 3,000 meters.
