Location

Mariehamn, Finland

Mariehamn Airport (IATA: MHQ, ICAO: EFMA) is the sole airport serving the Åland Islands, an autonomous and demilitarized region of Finland located in the Baltic Sea between Finland and Sweden. The airport sits just a few kilometers north of Mariehamn, the capital and only city of Åland. The airport handles a modest volume of passengers, primarily connecting Åland to mainland Finland and Sweden. Its traffic is supplemented by the region's busy ferry links, which are a major mode of transport for both residents and tourists. Given the small size of the Åland Islands and their population of roughly 30,000, the airport operates on a regional scale with limited but consistent scheduled services.

Terminals

The airport has a single small terminal building suited to its regional traffic volumes.

Getting to & from

The airport is located approximately 3–4 kilometers from Mariehamn city center and is accessible by taxi and local bus services.
