However, this does not seem realistic. Opening it in autumn doesn't seem realistic either in my opinion, as the number of flights to non-schengen destination will not increase in W22/23 schedule. I also doubt passenger numbers will be higher in autumn/winter than summer (I am a bit sceptical about what kind of covid situation we will face in autumn). Let' see.
if they reopen it in June/July I might retime my transit in HEL from 2 hours to 6+
