C'mon, what's the rationale behind putting Vantaa and not Helsinki? The infobox should indicate the closest MAJOR city that the airport serves, in the case of HEL, is Helsinki, not Vantaa. I doubt that a lot of people know more of Vantaa than Helsinki. I'd assume not a lot of people even know that there is a city called Vantaa. By the way, anonymous user, you're already violating the 3RR rule. Elektrik Blue 82 16:19, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
First of all I'm sorry. I didn't know about any RRR rule.
It may be true that not a lot of people know where Vantaa is located. But also not a lot of people outside Europe even know where Finland is located (well that's before Conan O'Brien and his keen interes in Finland) and I don't think anyone traveling abroad doesn't take the five minutes and get to know the place they are traveling to and learn the basic hellos and such.
Since you're all foreigners, here's some basic info about the Vantaa Airport:
The Airport is Vantaa's largest employer and in 2001 the Airport employed 11 078 people, 92% of them from Vantaa.
It's area is only 5,6% from Vantaa's total area.
It doesn't have any border with the Helsinki.
The Airport is located within the city of Vantaa (hence the name Helsinki-Vantaa Airport).
As you can see it clearly serves Vantaa, not Helsinki. I think I've read somewhere that only a small minority of the passangers are actually from Helsinki.
Kenner VS Vantaa:
population: 70 516 - 187 281
area: 39,4km² - 242,74km²
Vantaa is the 4th largest city in Finland.
Now taken into comparison that New Orleans is much larger than Helsinki so that name is justified. As I can see things are a little different in America then here in the real world. Because you live there how can you know anything about what's happening here. I live here in Vantaa. Don't you think I should know. Just leave this to the professionals.
PS: You might want to see the article about Malmi Airport.

Based on a Googlefight: Helsinki has 101,000,000 hits. See it here. Vantaa on the other hand only has 5,920,000. See it here. Now which one is more major for the area? Elektrik Blue 82 14:25, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
Do you really think google solves anything. We aren't discussing about which one is larger, we are discussing about which is the closest mayor city. Helsinki, Vantaa and Espoo are all mayor cities in Finland. It is located in Vantaa, hence Vantaa is the closest mayor city. 88.112.101.221 15:07, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
I will accept Greater Helsinki (for now). I just have to correct you on one point: By their own studies the Helsinki-Vantaa Airport is mainly a checkpoint for most people travelling through it. I think I've read somewhere that Finnair is the only European airline that flyes straight from Japan, China and other Asian countries so people traveling from Asia fly to Vantaa and continue their journey to other Western countries. And also, compared to London, Luton is a tiny little town, very different than the situation here in Finland. What you should do, is compare New York with New Jersey. That's more realistic comparison, but like I said I will accept Greater Helsinki although it should read Capital region (=Pääkaupunkiseutu, the term we here in Finland use). 88.112.101.221 15:05, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
1. I'm not looking for anyone's acceptance nor am I giving it to anyone.
2. I do not claim to be a professional on this matter but living in Vantaa does make me more professional than somenone living on the other side of the world.
3. Living 3 kilometers from the Airport gives me insight, not superiority or ownership as you claim, although most of the times they are the same.
4. Learn to read between the lines. I'm not trying to offend anyone but if you choose to be offended, that's not my problem.
5. Since when does the majority get to deside what's right and wrong (U.S politics aside)?

Someone keeps changing the city_served parameter from Helsinki to Uusimaa. However, the Infobox Airport template documentation states: "city-served: If the airport is associated with a major city but actually located in a smaller town, list the major city here and the smaller town under location." Uusimaa is a region, not a city, so I am reverting it back to Helsinki. (Besides, Helsinki is far more well-known than Uusimaa.) --Apalsola t • c 23:37, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
The category Category:Transport in Helsinki is fine, because this is indeed by far the most used airport used when travelling to or from Helsinki by air. However, it should not be placed into the category Category:Buildings and structures in Helsinki, because despite the name, and the connection to Helsinki, it is not in Helsinki.

Helsinki to Boston is a seasonal scheduled flight. It is possible to buy tickets from any source (eg. Expedia, Orbitz, etc.); the schedules are published on Finnair's website, on OAG, on the oneworld website, etc.; Finnair is listed as a scheduled carrier on the MassPort website (the owner of Logan International). If it's a "scheduled charter" (which is an oxymoron anyway), then it should still be listed. There is nothing that says not to list scheduled flights if they are considered charters by the airline. Failing to list is misleading and implies the airline doesn't actually fly a route that it most certainly does. DB (talk) 06:39, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
Should it be corrected that the name is now just Helsinki Airport? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.31.11.80 (talk) 06:23, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
Why the name is Helsinki Airport? and it dosent even are really in Helsinki it's in vantaa , you can see the Lentokenttä article. The why it has helsinki name in it because helsinki is "jealous" to vantaa cuz helsinki has only the Malmi's airport. id prefer that the name would be "Helsinki - Vantaa's airport (in finnish, Helsinki - vantaan Lentoasema) Arttuh2010 (talk) 12:15, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
Can anyone make a section: Busiest routes and destinations? I'm so bad to do anything like that, so somebody else can do it. Good source to do this: FINAVIA'S AIR TRAFFIC STATISTICS (pdf page 18) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.221.98.241 (talk) 18:46, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
The flight that Finnair has from Helsinki to Dubai is a year-round flight. Make sure it does not get put in the seasonal column as that I keep seeing that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.89.35.142 (talk) 01:04, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

The claim that Helsinki-Vantaa Airport is the "leading long-haul airport in Northern Europe" is made in the first paragraph. The source is some marketing text on Finavia's website. The meaning of the phrase itself is unclear, and there is nothing in the citation to suggest why it would be true except that HEL has the most direct destinations to Asia from northern Europe. Some other statistic, like if HEL has the most long-haul passengers to/from all direct destinations combined (compared to the other major airports in northern Europe), would be much more convincing, but I doubt that is the case. I think the claim should be removed. Jumpbackupagain (talk) 07:46, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
