On Thursday August 27, the first phase of a new
150 million euro terminal opens at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport serving
long-haul flight customers and those bound for other destinations
outside the Schengen area.
"This is the first step towards
an extensive change lying ahead in the autumn. As of Thursday,
Finnair customers arriving at the terminal will notice more
spacious waiting areas and new toilet facilities, and two new
gates will be taken into use along with a R- kiosk offering a wide
selection of magazines and books among its product range,"
said Markku
Remes, Customer Experience Management Manager of Finnair.
The next stage in the terminal transformation
will take place on 15 September, when more shops and the My City
Helsinki restaurant world will open in the new area.
The
final stage will be completed on December 11 with the opening of
a stylish 1,000 m2 Via Lounge. The services provided will include
six private shower rooms, a snack buffet, a well-stocked wine bar,
relaxation and working areas.
Unique in the world of
airports, a nearly 600 m2 Via Spa environment will also open. Via
Spa will offer four different saunas, an Alpine-style spruce
sauna, a stone sauna, a steam sauna and a traditional Finnish
sauna with a view to the aircraft taxiways.
These
innovations are part of the joint goal-directed development work
of Finnair and Finavia to provide increasingly efficient and
pleasant transit services to passengers on routes between Europe
and Asia.
