Route map

Airport railway station (Template:Lang-fi, Template:Lang-sv) is a Helsinki commuter rail station located at the Helsinki Airport in Vantaa, Finland.

It is one of the new stations of the Ring Rail Line (Kehärata), located between the stations of Aviapolis and Leinelä. Although the Ring Rail Line opened on July 1, 2015, the airport railway station opened only on July 10, 2015, and only the Tietotie exit was accessible at this time. Because the exit was the one farther 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 March 17, 2016.[3] The escalators are the longest in Finland at 72 meters length.
