Helsinki-East – airport of the future and technology park Helsinki-East Aerodrome is Finland’s newest public airport and a developing aviation technology park. It was created to meet the need for a new base in Southern Finland for growing aviation activity, and the development of future aviation technology. Helsinki-East is just an hour’s drive from the Helsinki region, right next to the E18 motorway. Freight traffic, business flights, training and passenger transport The developing logistics and unmanned freight drones of the future will need a runway, and that is what Helsinki-East can offer. Lengthening the runway will ensure business travel in the future, including passenger transport, official flights and unscheduled, demand-responsive transport, which will improve accessibility for the whole of Finland. Today’s aviation operators, aviation training and companies providing maintenance, logistics and storage services can use Helsinki-East Aerodrome.
