Number of international passengers at airports in Finland 2021-2022
In November 2022, the number of passengers on international flights reached over 913.89 thousand.
Passenger traffic has been shut down for the summer and early autumn 2020 at many airports in Finland, and flights on all routes have been significantly reduced and suspended. Because Finnair offers the shortest route between Europe and Asia, Helsinki has become a major hub in Asia-Europe travel (especially China and Japan). However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, Finnair cancelled all flights to mainland China in February 2020, which led to a passenger decrease of 95.8 percent in March 2020 compared to the previous year. Travel restrictions and precautionary matters continued their influence on passengers and Airlines in 2021 and early 2022.
