Helsinki Vantaa Airport

Helsinki Vantaa Airport (EFHK) is a large airport in Helsinki, 18, Finland. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code EFHK or IATA code HEL. It sits in Europe.

Helsinki Vantaa Airport is a commercial-airline hub that also handles a steady stream of private and corporate traffic. Mixed commercial and private operations mean planners should expect slot coordination, handling agent involvement, and the usual international hub procedures.

Helsinki Vantaa Airport sits near sea level at 179 ft.

Local operations run on Europe/Helsinki. Because the field hosts scheduled airline operations, private operators should expect a defined slot environment, possible CDM coordination at peak banks, and limited ramp availability during major event weekends. Booking FBO ramp space in advance is normal practice.

SkyAccess currently tracks 23 departing and 21 arriving private-jet legs at EFHK across the next six months of operator inventory. 2 aircraft from 7 operators are based here or fly through regularly, so most empty-leg supply originates from a local fleet rather than out-of-town repositioning.

As one of the larger fields in Finland, EFHK tends to be the natural choice for long-range international charters and crew-rest-required flights.

Helsinki-Vantaa Airport, or simply Helsinki Airport, is the main international airport serving Helsinki, the capital of Finland, as well as its surrounding metropolitan area, and the Uusimaa region in Finland.
