Many passengers follow special diets or perhaps try to avoid unnecessary additives. These needs are well catered for at Helsinki Airport.

At Helsinki Airport, options suitable for people with special diets are clearly indicated on the menus of restaurants and on signs and product information in cafés.

Almost all cafés and restaurants at the airport offer gluten-free bread as well as lactose-free and milk-free products. The cafés offer coffee soy or oat milk for coffee, and these can also be foamed for specialty coffees. Soy and oat milk are also offered as beverages with meals.

Snacks suitable for vegans, such as fruit salad or nut mixes, are available at several of the airport’s kiosks and cafés. We also offer a wide selection of juices and smoothies that are dairy-free and additive-free.
