Connecting flights are easy in Helsinki.

Finnair strives to offer passengers the smoothest, fastest connections in the Northern Hemisphere by way of Helsinki on their journey between Europe and Asia. Fulfilling this promise requires streamlining their operations to make sure aircraft maintenance, turnaround processes, and up-to-the-minute airspace information are all run like clockwork. And to transform the customer experience, the flight crew, maintenance staff, and ground service employees all rely on iPhone, iPad, and custom apps.
