8.1 Access to the security-controlled Areas
Finavia, who is the provider of airport services in Finland, issues Finavia Corporation Identity Cards (airport badges) to a limited number of members of each mission for official reception or escorting duties and delivering or picking up diplomatic pouches in the security-controlled areas at the Helsinki Airport.
Members of missions can use either an airport badge or the Meet & Greet Service provided by Select Service Partner Finland Ltd, for these duties. Both obtaining the airport badge and the Meet & Greet Service are subject to a charge.
Missions are advised to get acquainted with the guideline issued by Finavia (Embassy employers´ guideline for Helsinki Airport security-controlled areas 1.3) which has been distributed to the missions by the circular note HEL7W0626-47/29.9.2017.
In case the mission decides to apply for airport badges to its personnel, it needs to appoint a named contact person for permit matters. The name of the contact person shall be notified to the Protocol Services by e-mail at pro@formin.fi
The notice must include the following information:
• Official name of the mission
• Business ID number of the mission
• Details of the named contact person for permit matters
(surname, first name, e-mail address and telephone number).
The Protocol Services will forward this information to Finavia. Finavia will then handle the permit matters directly with the named contact person.
All changes in respect of the details of the contact person must be notified immediately to the Protocol Services by e-mail.
Inquiries concerning the airport badges shall be addressed to Finavia: Tel. +358 20 69 3007 or lupapalvelu@finavia.fi
