Aug 18, 2022 (newstodate): Finavia's handling company at Helsinki AirPro has secured a long-term handling contract with Norwegian Air Shuttle.
   AirPro has been providing handling services to Norwegian at Helsinki Airport since September 1, 2015, taking over from Aviator.
   From the start in 2015, the two companies have been cooperating in handling of Norwegian at six airports in Finland, while the traffic was scaled down as the "old" Norwegian folded wings.
   At its heyday until 2019/2020, Norwegian had grown to become the second-largest airline operating at Helsinki Airport, aggregating some 15 percent of the total traffic, and trailing only after Finnair accounting for some 65 percent.        
   And in the original pre-coronavirus summer schedule, Norwegian planned for direct non-stop flights from Helsinki to 21 international destinations, as well as flights on a domestic route network in Finland.
   Reopening flights at Helsinki Airport from June 28, 2021, Norwegian has been providing flights on 14 routes from Helsinki Airport, including two domestic routes to Oulo and Rovaniemi.  
Today, the airline has allocated four Boeing 737-800 aircraft to its base at Helsinki Airport.       
   Norwegian opened its first base at Helsinki in March 2011 with three aircraft serving a network comprising 13 international and two domestic routes.
