Helsinki-Malmi airport is under serious threat of total destruction! Please, visit https://www.malmiairport.fi/en/ for more information about the airfield. The field is currently (September, 2022) still temporarily closed, and it's future is very, very uncertain...The City of Helsinki is using it for other purposes and have started housing construction preparations on the airport area.
Helsinki-Malmi was the busiest general aviation airport in Finland up until it was temporarily closed in the spring of 2021. The airport is located less than 10 km north of the center of Helsinki, the capital of Finland. It has served pilot training, professional, business and recreational aviation, and offered an extensive range of aviation services from aircraft and helicopter maintenance and repairs to aircraft rental. Several pilot schools and flying clubs were located at Helsinki-Malmi. Helsinki-Malmi Airport was selected as one of the 7 Most Endangered Cultural Heritage Sites in Europe, so it’s well worth getting to know.
