Which airports are in Finnish Lapland?
Choosing the right airport for your Lapland trip.
Short answer
Finavia lists five airports in its Lapland Airports network: Rovaniemi, Kittilä, Ivalo, Kuusamo and Kemi-Tornio. Rovaniemi sits right on the Arctic Circle. Kittilä serves the Levi and Ylläs ski areas and had 446,000 passengers in 2025, the fourth busiest airport in Finland. Ivalo is the northernmost, and Kuusamo serves the Ruka area.
Why
- Finavia describes Lapland Airports as a network of five airports.
- Finavia gives 446,000 passengers for Kittilä in 2025.
- Finavia gives 129,000 passengers for Kuusamo in 2025.
Details
Kuusamo is in North Ostrobothnia, not formally in Lapland, but Finavia counts it in its Lapland network because it serves the Ruka ski resort.
Tip
Choose the airport by resort: Kittilä for Levi and Ylläs, Ivalo for Saariselkä and Inari, Kuusamo for Ruka.
What may differ
Flight connections vary a lot by season. Many routes run only in winter.
