Lappeenranta Airport (LPP)

Getting Around

How to get to and from Lappeenranta Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.

Transport Options at LPP

Lappeenranta Airport is connected to Lappeenranta and the wider Finland transport network by multiple ground transport options.

Bus & Shuttle

Local bus route 4 connects the airport to Lappeenranta town center and the railway station, but at airport-scale, not city-scale, frequency — this is a tiny regional field, not a hub with round-the-clock transit.

Taxi

A small local taxi fleet serves the airport; outside of a scheduled or charter arrival, you may need to call ahead rather than expect one waiting curbside.

Rideshare

No meaningful Uber/Bolt presence at this scale of airport — taxi is the practical option.

Car Rental

No major international rental chain keeps a counter on-site; a couple of local Lappeenranta agencies can arrange a car with advance notice, or you can rent from an office in town a short taxi ride away.

Insider tip

Lappeenranta Airport lost its last scheduled airline route (Ryanair's seasonal Bergamo, Italy service) in late October 2025, and the city-owned operator ended regular passenger operations from January 1, 2026. What's left is general aviation, flight training, and occasional seasonal charter flights (e.g., holiday charters to destinations like Corfu). If you're flying through here at all in 2026, you're almost certainly on one of those charters rather than a scheduled airline — confirm ground-transport timing with your charter operator, since bus and taxi availability track that one flight rather than a real schedule.

Transport routes, fares and operators change frequently. Verify current options on the official Lappeenranta Airport website before travel.

Ground Transport Tips for LPP

Only use official taxi ranks or pre-booked apps at Lappeenranta Airport. Avoid unofficial drivers approaching you in arrivals.
If a rail or metro connection exists, it is usually the fastest and most reliable option during rush hour.
Allow extra time for ground transport during peak hours. Lappeenranta city traffic can significantly extend journey times.
Download offline maps for Lappeenranta before landing — useful if your data connection is slow on arrival.
If travelling with heavy luggage, a private transfer or taxi is often more practical than public transport.
