Aviator Airport Alliance renews its partnership with Turkish Airlines at Helsinki Airport

• Finnish company Aviator Airport Services has renewed its ground handling agreement with Turkish Airlines at Helsinki Airport, with services continuing for around 60 flights per month, including passenger handling, ramp operations and de-icing.
• The collaboration will begin in Helsinki in 2023, building on a broader partnership between the pilot and Turkish Airlines that was launched in 2012 at Copenhagen Airport and has since expanded across the Nordic region.
• Aviator Finland highlights that high-quality and consistent service and efficiency underpin its leading market position, supporting Turkish Airlines’ record on-time departure performance in 2025.

Finland’s Aviator Airport Services, part of Aviator Airport Alliance, a comprehensive provider of aviation services at 15 airports across the Nordic countries, has renewed its partnership with Turkish Airlines, the Turkish flag carrier that flies to more countries than any other company for its ground handling services at Helsinki Airport in Finland.

Finnish Aviator Airport Services and Turkish Airlines will start their cooperation at Helsinki Airport in 2023, and the scope of their partnership covers 60 flights per month. Under the renewed contract, Aviator Finland will continue to provide Turkish Airlines with ground handling services, including passenger handling and ramp handling, as well as de-icing.

Commenting on the latest development, Kimmo Holopainen, General Manager of Aviator Finland, said: “Successful contract renewals are among the best indicators of Aviator Finland’s strength in the highly competitive ground handling market. I am confident that our continued pursuit of going the extra mile for our customers in providing efficient and high-quality services is the key to success. Our continued partnership with Turkish Airlines strengthens Aviator Finland’s position as the market leader at Helsinki Airport.”

The Aviator Airport and Turkish Airlines alliance began working together in 2012, when Turkish Airlines became one of the first Aviator customers at its base at Copenhagen Airport. The partnership then expanded across the Nordic region, including Helsinki in 2023. Turkish Airlines has high expectations for ground handling providers, and boasts a strong track record of on-time performance. In 2025, it set a new record for on-time departure rates.
