About Pirkkala Airport

Pirkkala Airport (IATA: TMP, ICAO: EFTP) is owned and operated by Finavia Corporation, Finland’s national airport operator, and has served the Tampere–Pirkkala region since the 1930s, evolving from a modest domestic aerodrome into a fully certified international airport. The airport’s 2,700-metre runway comfortably handles light jets, midsize jets, and large-cabin aircraft, while turboprops and piston aircraft also operate regularly. Terminal facilities include customs and border control for international arrivals, with private aviation passengers benefiting from a separate general aviation area that facilitates expedited processing away from commercial passenger flows. The airport plays a strategic dual role, serving both commercial carriers and business aviation, making it one of the most practically equipped regional airports in Finland. Its position within the Pirkkala municipality, combined with excellent road links to Tampere city centre, makes it a highly functional base for executive travel throughout the Nordic region.
