During 2018-2019, Finavia executed a EUR 55 million investment at Rovaniemi, Kittilä and Ivalo Airports. Finavia carried out a massive expansion at Rovaniemi Airport. Passenger facilities expanded over 75 %, from 6,000 to 10,500 square metres. Modern passenger facilities were added to the baggage reclaim area and other areas, and the café area was quadrupled in size.The airport’s hourly capacity increased from three planes to five planes. A new passenger boarding bridge that makes boarding faster was installed in the terminal which means that currently Rovaniemi Airport has three passenger boarding bridges. Finavia considerably expanded both the terminal and the air traffic infrastructure at Kittilä Airport. The expansion added a total of 2,000 square metres of new space to the terminal.The new facilities include services such as a second café and children’s play area. New space was also added to the passport control for arriving passengers.Finavia increased the capacity and smoothness of air traffic by building two new taxiways: a short one and a long one. In addition, the number of aircraft stands was increased from six to 12. In 2020, Finavia will invest more than EUR 5 million in the development of Kittilä Airport. The additional investment will increase baggage handling capacity and smoothen the check-in process. At Ivalo Airport, Finavia invested to new aircraft stands and the expansion of terminal spaces. The number of aircraft stands nearly doubled the aircraft parking capacity and thus increased the smoothness of air traffic. Passenger facilities expanded by 1,000 square metres.
