Helsinki Vantaa  ( HEL - EFHK )                                              Website : http://www.helsinki-vantaa.fi

Situated about 15miles at the north of Helsinki, Vantaa Airport is the most important of Finland, and this is the base of main important companies Finnair, Blue1, Air Finland and Finncom. There are two terminals on the south of a cross made by runways 4R-22L et 15-33. A third runway called 04L-22R stand on the north. Terminal 1 is use for domestic flights, T2 for international. There is a cargo center on the south of the airport, and only some flights operated by Cargolux, DHL, TNT, UPS and Aeroflot Cargo. Point of view passenger, 80% of the flights are operated by Finnair, the rest by Europeans companies. Runways 15-33 are usually used for the arrivals and the departures, 04L and 22L for the landings, and 04R et 22R for the departures. This is a very quiet airport, but between 2 and 6PM there is a crazy rush with many heavies!

My spotting trip to Helsinki begins on 6 June 2008 in the early morning at Brussels Airport aboard the Lufthansa flight to Munich (CRJ900  LH4615 D-ACKG) We had a very short connection and boarded in the  A320 Lufthansa ( LH3113 D-AIPA ) to Helsinki. One time in the airport, and to get to the other side, we coach the bus number 61 from the terminal to Tikkurlia Stantion, and then bus 46. This bus drives all around the airport. We stop at the approach lights runways 04L and 04R. Later, we went to the next stop for some pictures along runway 04L-22R. We were not lucky for our trip because weather was not very good, and one time at a spotting place, the planes changed of runway… Very frustrating airport! After 3 days, back to BRU with the Lufthansa flight with connection in MUC.
