Helsinki Airport station (Finnish:Lentoaseman rautatieasema,Swedish:Flygplatsens järnvägsstation) is aHelsinki commuter rail station located atHelsinki Airport inVantaa,Finland.
Helsinki Airport station is on theRing Rail Line, located between the stations ofAviapolis andLeinelä. It is theworld's northernmost underground railway station.
Although the Ring Rail Line opened on 1 July 2015, the airport railway station opened a few days later on 10 July 2015, and only the Tietotie exit was accessible at this time. Since the exit was the one further away from the terminal, a temporary shuttle bus was operated until the elevators for the passenger terminal-side exit were completed in December 2015.[2] The escalators for the terminal-side exit were finally brought into use on 17 March 2016.[3]
As part of ongoing plans forhigh-speed rail in Finland, Helsinki Airport station would be linked to Helsinki Central via a direct tunnel (a project known asLentorata), surfacing atKerava and continuing toTampere Central, at an estimated cost of €5.5 billion.[4]
Proposals exist to connectKouvola railway station to Helsinki via a new 106 km line,Itärata (Eastrail), throughPorvoo and Helsinki Airport station.[5]
