Icelandair resumes flights to Helsinki

Our number one priority is the health and safety of our customers and crew. Read about our safety measures – at the airport and on board – on our Safe travels - shared responsibility page.

Finnish authorities dealt with the COVID situation early, and have managed to control it.

We understand the need for reassurance, so we encourage you to read more about the current situation in Helsinki by visiting these official websites of the Finnish authorities:

THL - Finnish institute for health and welfare takes care of COVID status reporting in Finland.

As countries open up again, travel restrictions are fast-changing. Travelers should look into the current rules that apply to them for the destination they wish to visit (for example, requirements for a COVID test or possible quarantine, what documentation is required), and also for rules that apply to their return trip (for example, the need to quarantine after returning home).
