Oulu is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Oulu Airport (OUL), 11 km (7 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,205 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Kemi-Tornio Airport (KEM, 95 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oulu Airport | OUL | 11 km (7 mi) | 8,205 ft | 47 ft |
| Kemi-Tornio Airport (regional) | KEM | 95 km (59 mi) | 8,212 ft | 61 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,205 ft, OUL handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 47 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
