When transferring from non-Schengen EU airport to a Schengen airport, do I need to go through security at the connection airport?

score:4

I have previously done tight transfers from Heathrow to a local Finnish airport, via Helsinki - likely very similar flights to your own.

You need to go through passport control (automated gates seemed quickest, sometimes they also have a dedicated "short connection" lane). However, you do not need to go through a security check.

Finnair will put the gates for upcoming flights on the screen of your first flight, make a note of where you need to go and head straight there without delay and you should be fine!

I had exactly this situation today: Coming from a Non-Schengen flight and transferring to a Schengen flight at Helsinki airport. Yes, going through security control was mandatory.
