Open Your Own Restaurant at Helsinki Airport

Finavia, the Finnish airport operator, has said it will open the doors of Helsinki Airport to home chefs on Global Restaurant Day, which will take place this year on 17 August.

The airport will have four locations where restaurant owners can start their popup restaurants. 

"The concept is about having a great time, sharing new experiences and enjoying the joint environment. Travel includes the same elements. We did wonder why not can Helsinki Airport be one of the venues of Restaurant Day," said Ville Haapasaari, Director of Helsinki Airport. "Despite the special arrangements, Restaurant Day will take place at the airport just like at other locations. Restaurants will be set up by private people who will serve delicious portions to customers. As far as we know, we are the first airport in the world where Restaurant Day is celebrated."
