Vantaa light rail is a planned light rail line in Vantaa, Finland that will connect Mellunkylä, Hakunila, Tikkurila, Aviapolis and Helsinki Airport.[2][3] The project was formally approved by Vantaa city council on May 22, 2023.[4] The construction may start at the earliest in 2024, with a projected finishing date of 2029.[5][6]
The average speed of the system is estimated to be 24 km/h.[3] At its fastest it may travel up to 70 km/h.[5] The trip from Hakunila to Tikkurila would be 10 minutes, and from Tikkurila to Jumbo 13 minutes. From Tikkurila to the airport it would take about half an hour. The planned capacity is 170 passengers per rail car.
The estimated cost of the project is 600 million euros, of which the city of Vantaa would pay 414 million, the government of Finland 177 million and the city of Helsinki 10.5 million, since the line ends in Helsinki at Mellunmäki metro station.[4]
