Traveller Tips
  • Pre-arrange ground transport well in advance as taxis and buses are infrequent in this rural area.
  • Check weather conditions carefully — eastern Finnish winters bring heavy snow and limited daylight affecting flight operations.
  • Fuel availability may be limited; confirm with airfield management before arrival.
  • The surrounding region offers excellent hiking, canoeing, and nature tourism in Koli National Park nearby.
