Kokkola-Pietarsaari Airport

Kokkola-Pietarsaari Airport is located in Kronoby, Finland, about 19 kilometres south of Kokkola city centre and 30 kilometres north-east of Jakobstad city centre.

The airport opened to traffic in 1960, when Aero began operating a route between Helsinki and Kokkola-Pietarsaari, then Kruunupyy Airport. In 1964 the first airport and air traffic control building are completed.

In 1991 the airport’s runway was extended to 2,500 metres, while in 1997 the terminal’s expansion was completed.

In 2010, about 80,000 passengers traveled via the airport. Scheduled serviced to Helsinki Airport is flown by Nordic Regional Airlines (Norra), operated as a code-share with Finnair. Finnair ended its own flights to Kokkola-Pietarsaari on 29 October 2010. Flights to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport by Nextjet began on 8 February 2014, with some flights being operated via Pori Airport. During winters, the airport is also used by charter flight airliners with a destination to southern Europe. The airport has two runways.
