lentopaikat.fi (airports.fi)
lentopaikat.fi (airports.fi) is a site dedicated to publishing current information about non-controlled airports in Finland, the site content is updated regularly by pilots and those responsible for the airports in question. It provides useful information for cross country flying aviators and other aviation enthusiasts. All and all there are around 60 uncontrolled airports in Finland and on top of that quite a few unofficial and private airports. The information about these airports is provided here to the best of our knowledge but usage of this information is the sole responsibility of the pilot in command.

History
04/24/2004 Pekka Lehtinen published a service called lentopaikat.net mainly to aid the Finnish sport aviators to plan their flights to different parts of Finland. The site’s idea was, and still is, to use all aviation enthusiasts to get up-to-date information about the Finnish non-controlled airports and make that available to everyone.

In march 2014 the site was transferred to Finnish Aeronautical Association and Tom Arppe started to develop the site further. A lot of work goes into maintaining this site site and it is all done on a voluntary basis so please keep those useful updates and current information coming.
