Kemi Airport Mini Guide
Kemi Airport
Kemi-Tornio Airport is very much a regional airport, miles from anywhere of note, it’s 4 miles from Kemi and 11 miles from Tornio. There’s plenty of parking given that there is only one airline that uses the airport and accordingly the price starts from €2 per day but you can pay more to park next to an engine warming post?? The airport has a petrol station and car wash should you feel like washing your car – be warned though not to use this facility in winter! Last year nearly 100,000 passengers passed through its small terminal using the one flight in and out each day.
How to get There
The only airline to fly here is Finncom from Helsinki who operate a single flight each day with an extra flight in periods of high demand!
Next Step of the Journey
There is no public transport to the airport but there is a bus stop 700m from the terminal. A taxi ride there is preferable in the depths of winter or you and your luggage won’t be found until spring. The bus takes 15 minutes to get to Kemi town centre and 25 minutes to Tornio.
Taxis are readily available as is car hire at the airport. The desks are easily found in the small terminal and pre-booking is recommended to enable you to get a suitable car for the terrain. Driving to and from the airport is easy as there is only one main road, the E8, Tornio Valley Road, which runs along the Finnish/Swedish border.
