Wireless network opened at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport

Wireless network opened at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport

People catching flights to and from Helsinki-Vantaa Airport can now make use of a free wireless internet network that was recently opened at the hub.

Installed by Finavia, a state-owned provider of airport and aviation services, the web connection is available in customer waiting areas, cafes and restaurants at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport.

If a computer is in use in the wireless zone, the availability of the internet connection will appear automatically on the monitor screen.

Airport director Juha-Pekka Pystynen suggested that the wireless network could prove particularly useful for business travellers.

"Many people want to deal with their business matters using their own laptops while waiting for their flight. Now it's easy, because now you don't need separate passwords in order to sign on," he said.

People who do not have laptops can access the web at internet kiosks for a fee or use one of the six computers at the airport's eService bar.

Helsinki-Vantaa Airport is the home hub of Finnair, the national carrier of Finland, and hosts the airline's flights to destinations including Heathrow Airport and Manchester Airport.
