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

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

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]
