Don't matter, I'm coming in

Finland's primary international airport, Helsinki-Vantaa Airport (HEL) is located about 11 miles north of downtown Helsinki

The airport is located in the city of Vantaa a suburb of Helsinki If you could be bothered to look on map you would discover that the city of Helsinki is near by.

There's another Airport that services Helsinki very few commercial flights. It is about 4 miles to the south east. HEM is its code.
As of 1 January 2017, Malmi serves aviation as an uncontrolled airfield with one active runway

MOST on the planet have not heard of Vanata but know of Helsinki.

Many Airports in the world have the names of two places in their name.

Dallas Fort Worth and Seattle Tacoma are two of them in the USA.

Detroit Airport is in Romulus.

The main Paris Airport lands are in three "towns" communes next to the city of Paris. Using all of them would be a very long name.

One of the districts did have its name as the Airport name decades ago. Its name then was Roissy Airport. Very few outside of Paris would know where it is.
Hell is a village in Norway the Airport is in the next town and called Trondheim Airport, Værnes.(TRD) HELL is a few kilometres to the south.
