History
Although the Ring Rail Line opened on 1 July 2015, the airport railway station opened a few days later on 10 July 2015, and only the Tietotie exit was accessible at this time. Since the exit was the one further away from the terminal, a temporary shuttle bus was operated until the elevators for the passenger terminal-side exit were completed in December 2015. The escalators for the terminal-side exit were finally brought into use on 17 March 2016.
Future proposals
As part of ongoing plans for high-speed rail in Finland, Helsinki Airport station would be linked to Helsinki Central via a direct tunnel (a project known as Lentorata), surfacing at Kerava and continuing to Tampere Central, at an estimated cost of €5.5 billion. Proposals exist to connect Kouvola railway station to Helsinki via a new 106 km line, Itärata (Eastrail), through Porvoo and Helsinki Airport station.
