Con­nec­tions around the world from Oulu Air­port

Trav­el com­fort­ably from North Ostro­both­nia to almost any­where

Oulu Air­port is the province’s gate­way to the world – the eas­i­est and most con­ve­nient way to fly on hol­i­day is to depart direct­ly from this region­al air­port.

The aim is to keep Oulu an attrac­tive des­ti­na­tion for air­lines also in the future. To make active use of exist­ing air con­nec­tions, it is impor­tant to pro­mote them in Oulu and the sur­round­ing area. Diverse air con­nec­tions are vital for growth, busi­ness­es and tourism in the whole of North Ostro­both­nia.

The “Glo­be­trot­ting from Oulu” cam­paign is made pos­si­ble by the North Ostro­both­nia Air Trans­port Devel­op­ment Pro­gramme, fund­ed by the City of Oulu, Hailu­o­to, Ii, Kala­jo­ki, Kem­pele, Kuusamo, Limin­ka, Lumi­jo­ki, Muhos, Pudasjärvi, Taivalkos­ki, Tyrnävä, Uta­järvi, and Vaala. The aim of the pro­gramme is to boost air traf­fic activ­i­ty in the region and increase the appeal of North Ostro­both­nia. This means attract­ing new inter­na­tion­al air con­nec­tions to Oulu Air­port and strength­en­ing the capac­i­ty of the Oulu–Helsinki route.

The cam­paign pro­vides a com­pre­hen­sive, unbi­ased pre­sen­ta­tion of options to trav­el from Oulu by air. It high­lights all the air­lines oper­at­ing from Oulu and the hol­i­day des­ti­na­tions offered by tour oper­a­tors.

But air trav­el is not the only mode of trav­el under devel­op­ment: active work is being done in the region also to strength­en rail trans­port. For exam­ple, the sta­tion area in Oulu is about to under­go a sig­nif­i­cant reform, and inter­na­tion­al train con­nec­tions to Swe­den and a dou­ble track to the south are being pro­mot­ed. Both modes of trans­port are impor­tant for the region.
