A total of 1.7 million passengers flew through Finnish airports in March 2024, according to Statistics Finland.
The number of passengers was 2 per cent higher than in the previous year, but a quarter less than before the corona pandemic.
The number of passengers on domestic flights decreased by 3 per cent, while the number of passengers on international flights increased by 5 per cent compared to March 2023.
In March, Helsinki Airport accounted for 78 per cent of all passengers at domestic airports.
Seventy-three per cent of the air traffic passengers travelled on international flights and 27 per cent on domestic flights.
The share of international flights was high at Helsinki Airport, while at other domestic airports the share of domestic flights was higher.
In March, a total of 1.3 million passengers flew through Helsinki Airport and altogether 360,000 passengers flew through other domestic airports. Of all passengers, 95 per cent travelled on scheduled flights.
About 1.2 million, travelled on international flights. The share of passengers on international flights was 83 per cent at Helsinki Airport and 38 per cent in total at other domestic airports.
Compared to March 2023, the total number of passengers was one per cent higher at Helsinki Airport and 8 per cent higher at other domestic airports.
Among the domestic airports, the airports of Rovaniemi, Kuusamo, Ivalo, Vaasa and Savonlinna stood out with more than a quarter of increased passenger numbers.

I believe that the increase in international flights is a positive sign of recovery for the Finnish airports. While the overall numbers are below pre-pandemic levels, the growth in international passengers shows a promising trend for the future.
How are the strict covid protocols affecting the passenger experience at Finnish airports?
Hey EvaSmith123, from my recent travels through Finnish airports, I can say that the strict COVID protocols actually made me feel safer. The staff ensures everyone follows the rules, sanitization stations are readily available, and the overall process, although a bit longer, is smooth and efficient. I believe it’s a necessary inconvenience for everyone’s well-being.
It’s promising to see an increase in the number of passengers at Finnish airports compared to last year, but the figures are still significantly below pre-pandemic levels. The rise in international flights is a positive sign, but the decrease in domestic flights is concerning. Hopefully, with the ongoing vaccination efforts, we will soon see a full recovery in air travel.
It’s positive to see more passengers flying through Finnish airports, especially with the increase in international flights. However, the numbers are still far below the pre-pandemic level, indicating that there is still a long way to go for the aviation industry to fully recover.
Interesting article! Do you think the increase in international flights is due to more relaxed travel restrictions or other factors?
Hi Sarah_87, thanks for your comment! The increase in international flights could be attributed to a combination of more relaxed travel restrictions and growing confidence among travelers to explore new destinations.
As someone who frequently travels through Finnish airports, I’ve noticed a slight uptick in passenger numbers recently. It’s encouraging to see progress, but we’re still a long way from reaching pre-pandemic levels. Let’s hope this trend continues and air travel gets back to normal soon.
I find it encouraging to see a slight increase in the number of passengers flying through Finnish airports in March 2024 compared to the previous year. However, it’s disheartening to note that we are still far from reaching the pre-pandemic levels. Hopefully, with time and continued safety measures, we can see a more significant recovery in air travel.
It’s encouraging to see the increase in passenger numbers at Finnish airports, but we still have a way to go to reach pre-pandemic levels. Hopefully, with continued safety measures and increasing confidence in travel, we’ll soon see a full recovery in air traffic.
