Tartu Airport (Estonian: Tartu lennujaam) (IATA: TAY, ICAO: EETU)[2] is an airport in Reola, Ülenurme Parish, 5.9 nautical miles (10.9 km; 6.8 mi) south southwest of Tartu,[1] the second largest city in Estonia. It is also called Ülenurme Airport due to its proximity to the village of Ülenurme. The Tallinn–Tartu–Võru–Luhamaa highway (E263) passes near the airport.
History
[edit]The airport was opened on 15 May 1946. In 1981, a new terminal building was built, and the runway and taxiway were upgraded. Since 2005, the airport has been operated by Tallinn Airport. In 2009, the runway was lengthened to 1,799 m (5,902 ft).[3]
Airlines and destinations
[edit]After Finnair ended flights from Tartu in October 2022[4] there were no regular commercial passenger flights to Tartu. In 2024, Finnair won the procurement for subsidized flights and the Helsinki line was reopened in March.[5] In April 2024, the flights were suspended for a month due to Russian GPS jamming.[6] The airport requires GNSS for initial approach on landings.[7]
