Terminals

The International and Domestic terminals are 250 m apart and are linked by an internal pedestrian connection both airside and landside. However, the airside parts of the terminal buildings are under one roof and that space is not divided into domestic and international but to Schengen and non-Schengen areas. The non-Schengen area is under enlargement and will be ready in 2009, allowing the airport to receive eight wide-body aircraft at the same time compared to current 5 gates (of which only 2 are suitable for Finnair's new Airbus A340).
