Turku Airport (IATA: TKU, ICAO: EFTU) is an international airport serving the city of Turku, the former capital of Finland and its sixth-largest city, located in the southwestern part of the country. The airport handles scheduled, charter, and cargo flights and serves as an important regional hub for western Finland.
The airport is owned and operated by Finavia, the Finnish state-owned company responsible for managing Finland's airport network. It offers connections to several European destinations, with Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) and Finnair historically among its key carriers.
While significantly smaller than Helsinki-Vantaa Airport, Turku Airport plays a vital role for the region's business travel, particularly given Turku's status as an industrial and maritime center.
