Helsinki Airport is the main international airport for the city and country. The airport is the base for national carrier Finnair and serves as a hub for Nordic Regional Lines, Norwegian Air Shuttle, CityJet and TuiFly Nordic. Over 50 airlines operate flights at Helsinki on a regular basis.
The airport was constructed for the 1952 Summer Olympics of Helsinki, as it was clear the then existing airport Helsinki-Malmi was not capable of handling all the traffic and was not suitable for the new jet aircraft.
