Finavia

Finavia is a Finnish state-owned company that operates and develops Finland’s network of airports. It owns, maintains, and develops airport facilities and provides services at Finnish airports, with Helsinki-Vantaa Airport serving as the national gateway.

The company is owned by the Finnish state and is headquartered in Vantaa, near Helsinki. Its mandate covers planning and developing airport infrastructure as well as managing day-to-day airport operations, safety, and security coordination with national authorities and relevant agencies.

Finavia operates a network of more than 20 airports across Finland, ranging from international hubs to regional and remote airfields. The network supports passenger travel and air cargo, with Helsinki-Vantaa as the largest airport and several regional airports including facilities in Oulu, Rovaniemi, Turku, Tampere, and Lapland.

Historically, Finavia traces its origins to Finland’s Civil Aviation Administration and has evolved through reforms that consolidated airport management under a single state-owned entity. The organization focuses on ensuring safe and efficient operations across its network while coordinating with aviation regulators and airlines.

Strategic priorities for Finavia include safety and security, high-quality passenger service, accessibility, and environmental sustainability. The company pursues modernization programs to upgrade terminals, runways, and other infrastructure, while pursuing energy efficiency, emissions reductions, and noise management as part of its broader sustainable aviation efforts.
