Finnair expanding Covid testing service
Finnair is expanding its Covid testing service and will offer PCR testing at €99.
Testing is handled by Finnair Health Services and is available by appointment from 28 September onwards at Finnair’s headquarters near the airport.
Tests can be booked online at finnairtest.mbooking.fi.
The booking can be made with a Finnish personal identity code, or with a date of birth. The test result and certificate in English are delivered electronically by the following morning at 9 am. The results are also available in My Kanta in Finland.
Finnair has previously introduced rapid antigen testing near Helsinki Airport, which costs €65.
"We are pleased to be able to expand our offering with PCR tests. Especially when traveling to many Asian countries, a PCR test certificate is required even if you have been fully vaccinated", said Kaarlo Karvonen, Finnair’s Head of Security.
"Testing in Finland is still more expensive than in many other countries, and we want to support the increase in travel by offering affordable tests."
The entry requirements of different countries can be checked on the travel restrictions map on finnair.com.
