As the home of the sauna, it makes sense for the Finns to embrace it as part of its travel offerings. And now Helsinki Airport has opened the world’s first runway sauna for a day in June.
‘Most airports have transit zones—some even have saunas,’ said Anna Tuomi, Finavia’s head of marketing. ‘But only Helsinki Airport can offer a transit to Finnish happiness. It is the touch point to tune into the rhythm, values and mindset of Finland.’
The airport has been selected Europe’s best seven times in the last eight years, and Finavia Corp., the Finnish airport operator, clearly wants to stay ahead.
Finland has over 3·2 million saunas, at least one for every three people in the country.
‘Finland is known as the world’s happiest country and the timeless tradition of sauna is at the heart of Finnish culture. At Finavia, we’ve brought these elements together to celebrate Finnish happiness,’ said Tuomi.
The runway sauna is not the airport’s only one. On a more permanent basis are three inside the airport terminal, and more in surrounding hotels and the city.
