The new entry model and health security processes have led to changes in terminal arrangements and passenger routes at Helsinki Airport.
As the health authorities check COVID-19 certificates of passengers arriving from all high-risk countries, terminal facilities at the airport have been divided. The previously used internal border controls by the Finnish Border Guard have been replaced with the checking of COVID-19 certificates carried out by the City of Vantaa.
Passengers travelling on domestic flights are not required to have COVID-19 certificates and are therefore directed to gate area 12–21, where the services and restaurants of Terminal 1 are available to them. Flights and passengers subject to the checking of COVID-19 certificates are directed to gate area 22–30.
