Estimated waiting time for security control

Estimated waiting times are currently not updated, and we apologize for the inconvenience. Security control is fast and smooth at Finavia airports. However, security control may become congested during peak hours. At Helsinki Airport, we do our best to keep queue times at security control under 15 minutes.

Security control at Terminal 2 is open 24/7. Security control at Terminal 1 is open from 04:30 a.m. to 20:00 p.m.

If you are travelling during peak hours, we recommend arriving at the airport at a time when security control is less likely to be congested. See also our terms and conditions of use.

The estimated queuing times are based on estimated passenger numbers for the current day and on historical data that is collected from ticket inspection machines. The historical data is used to estimate how much before their flights passengers typically arrive at the security checkpoint.

Please remember that the queuing times may change very rapidly, especially at the beginning and end of peak hours.

The queuing time measurement system is based on Bluetooth technology. There are sensors installed near the security checkpoints that pick up the Bluetooth signal from passengers' mobile phones. The sensors only pick up the Bluetooth address specified by the manufacturer, and the customer's phone number and the name specified for the Bluetooth device cannot be deduced from the address.
