South Karelian airport near the Russian border, mostly LCC-only
Lappeenranta Airport sits about 3 km west of central Lappeenranta in South Karelia, close to the Russian border on the southern shore of Lake Saimaa. The airport historically operated as a low-cost-only base with Ryanair and Wizz Air services, with traffic patterns shifting significantly after 2022. Charter and seasonal scheduled operators provide most current activity, with periodic summer routes to Mediterranean and Central European destinations.
