Kajaani (KAJ): ring for the taxi and wait ten minutes

Finavia lists no bus for Kajaani. The taxi is not sitting at a rank: you order it from the taxi phone at the information desk and it takes about ten minutes to get there.

  • Finavia lists no bus service for Kajaani Airport. Its public transport page covers only trains and coaches between Kajaani and the rest of Finland.
  • The taxi is ordered, not waiting. Use the taxi phone at the Finavia information desk.
  • It takes about 10 minutes for the taxi to reach the airport. Build that into your plan.
  • Book in advance if your arrival is late or your onward connection is tight.
  • Local operators: Kajaanin Aluetaksi Oy, OmaTaxi, Meneva, Taksi Kai Heikkinen (+358 400 306 305), Taksi Sakari Heikkinen (+358 400 387 933) and Kuhmon Taksipalvelu Oy (+358 8655 1421).
  • Kajaani has a railway station on the line north to Oulu and south to Helsinki; VR has the times.
  • Matkahuolto covers the coaches.
  • The airport is at Paltaniemi, northwest of the town on the shore of Oulujarvi.
  • This is the air gateway to Kainuu and to Vuokatti, which is where most winter arrivals are going.

There is no bus

  • Finavia's public transport page for Kajaani names no bus route to the airport. It links to VR for trains and Matkahuolto for coaches, both of which are about getting between Kajaani and the rest of the country, not to the terminal.

The taxi, and the ten minutes

  • Taxis are not waiting at a rank here. You order one at the Finavia information desk using the taxi phone provided.
  • Finavia says it takes about 10 minutes for a taxi to reach the airport.
  • That is the number to plan around. If you land late, or you have a tight onward connection, book in advance instead.
