What Can Affected Passengers Do?Check real-time flight status through airline apps before heading to airports such as Helsinki, Rovaniemi, or Turku.Allow extra buffer time for connections, especially at larger hubs like Helsinki-Vantaa, as gate changes, aircraft rotation delays, or late inbound flights can compress connection windows even when departures are not cancelled.Monitor rebooking options proactively when delays exceed airline thresholds.Keep travel documents and essentials accessible, including boarding passes, identification, chargers, medications, and basic necessities, as prolonged waits or last-minute gate changes may limit access to checked baggage.Use airport service desks for meal, accommodation, or re-routing assistance where applicable.
