“Lettijeff has solid expertise in leading international business operations, and she has a strong vision of how to develop service experiences of corporate customers and consumers. I believe that, under Lettijeffs leadership, we can strengthen the international position of Helsinki Airport even further and finish our massive investment programme, says Kimmo Mäki, Finavia’s CEO.

“It is a wonderful opportunity to be part of the development of one of the best airports in Europe and to continue the modernisation of Helsinki Airport and the expansion of its service range. I cannot wait to start working together with my team and our partners in further developing the exceptional travel experience our airport provides and to make air travel even smoother,” Lettijeff says.
