    Short answer

    WSP, one of the designers, says construction of the Vantaa tramway began in 2025 and it is due to be completed in 2029. The line is about 19 kilometres long and runs from Mellunmäki metro station via Hakunila, Tikkurila and Aviapolis to the airport. Helsinki Times reported 27 stops. The City of Helsinki said work in Mellunmäki is planned to start in 2027, so the tram could reach the metro station in 2029.
