Tallinn Airport to open the new terminal officially today

Tallinn Airport will officially open its new terminal today, writes Postimees.

Mati Sillak, head of the new terminal, says that the new facility will greatly increase passenger convenience. “We have 27 check-in counters and the objective is to bring all aircraft to the terminal so that we don’t have to use buses to transport passengers to the terminal any more,” said Sillak.

Among others, the new terminal even has a praying room. The renovation project cost EEK 1.2 billion. Construction works started in February 2008.

Last week the government decided to name Tallinn Airport after former President Lennart Meri. It took two years for the state to negotiate the issue and reach an agreement with the relatives of Lennart Meri.

Next year Estonia’s first president Lennart Meri would have turned 80. He was Estonia's first post-Soviet president and died in March 2006 at age 76 after a long illness. A charismatic and witty statesman, writer and filmmaker, Meri was president of Estonia from 1992-2001.
