The new café Sulo welcomes passengers at Kemi-Tornio Airport.
According to Olli Väyrynen, Vice President, Business Development (Airport Network) at Finavia, passenger numbers at Lapland’s airports have increased significantly; new stores and services are very welcome. “Our customer base consists of Finnish passengers, but we also serve Asian and Central European tourists who expect our airports to offer local selections.”
Thanks to Finavia’s Lapland investment programme, airports in northern Finland are now able to better accommodate the two million passengers that pass through them every year. The project has enabled the expansion of passenger areas at Rovaniemi, Ivalo and Kittilä Airports.
A new café has also been opened at Joensuu Airport to provide services to customers, which consist mostly of locals as the number of passengers remains consistent throughout the year.
