Finavia to upgrade infrastructure at three Finnish airports

Finnish airport operator Finavia has announced an investment exceeding E15m to renovate runways at Helsinki, Kuopio and Kuusamo airports. At Helsinki Airport, the operator will refurbish the transverse runway, the northern end of runway 2 (15/33). The revamp will commence in May and conclude by early September. Finavia said that the works will affect the landing directions in May–August. It will also upgrade the electrical systems under the runway and the runway surface apart from improving the stormwater sewer system. The company intends to spend a total of E8m this year in Helsinki Airport. Finavia will also carry out an overhaul of stormwater sewers and taxiways E and F at Kuopio Airport. It will continue to upgrade the electricity networks, which started last year. The operator will invest E5m in Kuopio Airport this year. Works at the airport will begin in May and end at the beginning of September, without disrupting air traffic.<br/>
