How do taxis work at Kuopio Airport?
Taxi ranks and pricing at Kuopio Airport.
Short answer
Finavia says it has competitively tendered the taxi ranks at Kuopio Airport since 2023 to make sure taxis are available when flights arrive. From 1 October 2025 there are two contracted companies, which use separate lanes in front of the main entrance. Other taxi companies can use a designated area near the airport, and there is a waiting area for pre-booked taxis. Passengers can still choose the taxi company they want. Finavia does not include customer prices in the tendering, so each taxi company sets its own prices.
Why
- Contracted taxis use lanes at the main entrance.
- You can choose any taxi company.
- Each company sets its own prices.
Details
Finavia says the tendering criteria include service level and taxi availability according to flight schedules.
Tip
Ask for the price or an estimate before the trip starts.
What may differ
Kuopio Airport is about 17 km from the city centre, according to Finnair.
Common misconception
Taxi prices at Finavia airports are fixed by Finavia.
What actually happens
Finavia does not set the prices; each taxi company does.
