Destia has signed an agreement with Finavia for the apron extension work at
Helsinki Airport. The apron extension will be implemented in order to increase
the capacity for transit traffic. The work will begin in autumn 2015 and be
completed in 2020. The estimate for the total cost of the project is about €100
million.

The project is carried out based on the alliance model, whereby the customer,
designers and contractors work jointly in the execution of the project. In
accordance with the alliance model, the contract will begin at the development
phase.

At an area of some 45 hectares, the contract comprises apron and taxiway
infrastructure work connected to the extension of the apron. It includes earth
construction, excavation, foundation and concrete construction, sewer
construction and other duct work as well as electrical and telematics work in
the area.

“Helsinki Airport is one of the leading airports in Europe when measured in the
number of airline passengers heading towards Asia. By expanding the terminal, we
will be able to offer them higher quality service and receive larger wide-body
aircraft at Helsinki Airport,” says Kari Savolainen, CEO of Finavia.

The contract is a significant part of the project to increase capacity at
Helsinki Airport. Destia has been selected as one of the main contractors for
the project.

“In the project, we will utilise Destia's strong and diverse infrastructure
expertise. As a working environment, an airport is very demanding. The area is
home to many operators, and it experiences constantly changing situations. The
co-operative project also requires flexibility and the integration of many
airport functions in order to ensure fluent air traffic. As an environment, an
airport sets special requirements for safety and, in our execution, safety will
also be at the heart of everything,” says Minna Heinonen, Executive Vice
President of Destia.
