By plane – fast and convenient
Helsinki-Vantaa Airport (HEL) is the largest airport in Finland, offering numerous connections both domestically and internationally. However, smaller airports like Rovaniemi (RVN) or Kittilä (KTT) also bring you directly to the most beautiful fishing regions. For a fishing holiday, flying is especially convenient if you don’t want to waste any time. At almost all airports, you can rent a car and continue your journey flexibly.
