Jyväskylä Airport (IATA : JYV, ICAO : EFJY; Finnish : Jyväskylän lentoasema) is an airport in Jyväskylä, Finland. It is in the center of the Finnish Lake District, about 20 kilometres (12 mi) north of the center of Jyväskylä.[3] The airport terminal was renovated in the fall of 2004.[4]
The Air Force Academy operations are stationed at the airport. The main campus of the Air Force Academy is about 5 kilometres (3 mi) from the airport. The Aviation Museum of Central Finland is near the airport.
History
[edit ]The airport was founded as an air-force base in 1939. The first commercial flight left the airport 6 years later in 1945.[5]
On August 2, 2010, Finncomm Airlines announced it will stop its service between Helsinki and Jyväskylä on August 16, 2010.[6] However the break was very short as Finnair and Finncomm reached an agreement in September 2010 that Finncomm will take over several Finnair's domestic routes. As a result of that, Finnair stopped its flights to Jyväskylä in late October 2010 and Finncomm started to operate those flights as co-operation with Finnair.[7] On September 9, 2011, Finnair announced that they will end flights to Jyväskylä, the last flight would be on October 29, 2011. Finnair flights to Jyväskylä had been operated by Finncomm Airlines. Finnair has been responsible for ticket sales on the route, Finncomm being solely the operator.[8] After the joint acquisition of Finncomm Airlines by Finnair and Flybe Nordic, it was announced that the link to Helsinki would be taken over by the new FlyBe Nordic on 30 October.[9] The service between Helsinki and Jyväskylä was then operated by NyxAir until the spring of 2021,[10] when it became non-operational; a new PSO tender re-enabled a twice-daily service which started operating October 31, 2022.[11] [12]
