Talk:Helsinki Airport

message: Someone keeps changing the city_served parameter from Helsinki to Uusimaa. However, the Infobox Airport template documentation states: "city-served: If the airport is associated with a major city but actually located in a smaller town, list the major city here and the smaller town under location." Uusimaa is a region, not a city, so I am reverting it back to Helsinki. (Besides, Helsinki is far more well-known than Uusimaa.) --Apalsola t • c 23:37, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

message: The category :Category:Transport in Helsinki is fine, because this is indeed by far the most used airport used when travelling to or from Helsinki by air. However, it should not be placed into the category :Category:Buildings and structures in Helsinki, because despite the name, and the connection to Helsinki, it is not in Helsinki.

message: Why the name is Helsinki Airport? and it dosent even are really in Helsinki it's in vantaa , you can see the Lentokenttä article. The why it has helsinki name in it because helsinki is "jealous" to vantaa cuz helsinki has only the Malmi's airport.
id prefer that the name would be "Helsinki - Vantaa's airport (in finnish, Helsinki - vantaan Lentoasema) Arttuh2010 (talk) 12:15, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The naming of the airport was a hurdle for the construction of the airport for some time; since it is in the city of Vantaa (Vanda in Swedish) there was much opposition to calling the airport simply "Helsinki Airport" - the name Helsinki-Vantaa was considered acceptable.  It is still the case that the airport is known as Helsinki-Vantaa in Finnish, Helsingfors-Vanda in Swedish.  However, it appears that the English (and international) name has been changed to "Helsinki Airport" by the airport in the web site of the airport and other materials. Jkstark (talk) 02:43, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  AIP Finland, the official (aviation) documentation of the airport, still uses forms "Helsinki-Vantaa" and "Helsinki-Vantaa Airport" in its revision of 23 July 2015. So, Helsinki-Vantaa Airport probably still is the official English name of the airport, and the form "Helsinki Airport" is used in marketing purposes only. However, since it is the form used in the airport website, signs and pretty much everything visible to "ordinary people" (i.e. non-aviators), I think that should be used as the article name as well. The form "Helsinki-Vantaa Airport" should be used as the secondary/alternate name as it is at the moment. ––Apalsola t • c 19:29, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

message: The claim that Helsinki-Vantaa Airport is the "leading long-haul airport in Northern Europe" is made in the first paragraph. The source is some marketing text on Finavia's website. The meaning of the phrase itself is unclear, and there is nothing in the citation to suggest why it would be true except that HEL has the most direct destinations to Asia from northern Europe. Some other statistic, like if HEL has the most long-haul passengers to/from all direct destinations combined (compared to the other major airports in northern Europe), would be much more convincing, but I doubt that is the case. I think the claim should be removed. Jumpbackupagain (talk) 07:46, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Done. I removed that statement, as it appears to be an opinion of their marketing department.--Quisqualis (talk) 02:32, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
