Kuusamo Airport is the main gateway if you’re heading to Kuusamo, south-east Lapland or the famous Ruka ski resort. It’s located about 14 km from Kuusamo town center, and during the busy winter season, it can get pretty lively with travelers coming for skiing and nature adventures. The airport is small but modern, making it easy to get through quickly. You’ll find taxi services and car rentals right outside, and the drive to Kuusamo town or Ruka usually takes around 15-20 minutes.
