Aug 14, 2015 (newstodate): Finavia has now signed two separate construction contracts that are the corporation's biggest to date.
Finavia selected Lemmink�inen as the contractor for the terminal construction work, and Destia for the groundwork on the apron.
Autumn 2015 will, for the most part, be spent on planning the project, and construction work on the passenger terminal and the groundwork on the apron are expected to begin in early 2016.
The expansion work in the terminal will begin at the southern wing of the current non-Schengen area early in 2016.
After the completion of the apron bus terminal, construction work can commence in the western wing, which is currently scheduled for early autumn 2016.
The western wing and the expansion of the non-Schengen area of the terminal will be completed by summer 2020, increasing the floor area of Helsinki Airport by 45 percent.
In addition to the construction and groundworks, Finavia will invest in eight new passenger boarding bridges and a luggage transport system, with suppliers to be appointed at a later date.
The second stage of the development programme also includes investments in the maintenance depot, developing apron level I and other preparatory work.
Finavia expects the traffic between Asia and Europe to increase strongly in the coming years, and with the airport expansion capacity will rise to serving 20 million passengers.
