Under the development pogramme, Finavia will invest over €1 billion in a gate area for Schengen passengers, a new terminal extension with departure and arrival halls, and an expansion of the terminal and apron for long-haul flights.

The west and south piers as well as the Aukio Plaza, which are part of the expansion of the long-haul flight area, have already been certified as excellent.
