Finnair will suspend its daily flights between Helsinki and Tartu, Estonia, from April 29 to June 1, so that an alternative approach solution that doesn’t require a GPS signal can be put in place at Tartu Airport.

The approach methods currently used at Tartu Airport are based on a GPS signal. GPS interference, which is quite common in the area, affects the usability of this approach method and can therefore prevent the aircraft from approaching and landing. This has had an impact on Finnair's flights.

The aim is to build approach methods at Tartu Airport during the one-month suspension, that enable safe and smooth flight operations without a GPS signal.

If you have booked flights between Helsinki and Tartu on 29.4.-1.6.2024, you will receive a cancellation message from Finnair by text message and/or email. Please go to Manage booking and and check that we have your current contact information.
