Finnair moves to London Heathrow Terminal 3


On January 27, Finnair moves Helsinki flights at London Heathrow Airport from
Terminal 1 to Terminal 3. Check-in for Finnair flights will take place in zone
G of Terminal 3. 

"Flights operated by oneworld alliance airlines will now operate more closely,
which especially means improved service for connecting passengers," says Markku
Remes, responsible for developing passenger experience on Finnair flights. "In
addition, it will now be possible for the first time to use Finnair's own
check-in system at London airport." 

Four other oneworld alliance airlines - American Airlines, Cathay Pacific,
Japan Airlines and Royal Jordanian - are already based at Heathrow's Terminal
3. 

On February 25, British Airways moves Helsinki flights to Terminal 3, on the
same day Iberia will also make the move to the same terminal. Qantas transfers
to Terminal 3 later this year, too. 

London Heathrow is the biggest oneworld alliance hub in Europe. Eight oneworld
companies will now concentrate their operations in two terminals, as opposed to
the four from which they have previously operated. 

Finnair flies four times a day in each direction between Helsinki and London.
