Helsinki Airport

Having Finland's largest airport, Helsinki Airport, the international connections of Aviapolis are broad, boasting the shortest flying distances from the EU to many Asian destinations.[2]

The Ring III beltway going through the Aviapolis area connects it with all main highways in and out of the Helsinki Metropolitan Area. Several bus lines connect the airport both to many Finnish cities as well as to many suburbs in Helsinki, Espoo, and Vantaa.

Aviapolis and the airport are linked by the Ring Rail Line to the main railway line, downtown Helsinki, and suburbs of western and eastern Vantaa. The line opened in July 2015, with two stations in the area: Aviapolis railway station and Airport railway station.

Public transportation in and out of the area is also done through Helsinki Regional Transport Authority bus connections.
