Kokkola-Pietarsaari (KOK): a charter firm one way, a taxi firm the other
Transfers to Kokkola are run by Kokkolan Tilausliikenne, a charter operator. Transfers to Pietarsaari are run by City Taxi Jeppis. Neither is a public bus route.
- The airport serves two towns and each has its own transfer operator.
- Kokkola: Kokkolan Tilausliikenne Ky, a charter transport company.
- Pietarsaari (Jakobstad): City Taxi Jeppis.
- Neither is a scheduled public bus. Finavia calls them transfers, and lists the operators rather than a route number or a timetable.
- Contact the right operator for your town before you fly.
- The airport is at Kruunupyy (Kronoby), between the two towns.
- Kokkola and Pietarsaari are about 35 km apart, so picking the wrong transfer is an expensive mistake.
- This is a bilingual area. Kokkola is Karleby in Swedish and Pietarsaari is Jakobstad, and you will see both forms on signs and timetables.
- Kokkola has a railway station on the main west coast line, so onward travel from the town is straightforward.
Two towns, two operators
- Finavia lists the airport's ground transport as two separate transfer arrangements, not as a bus network.
| Destination | Operator |
|---|---|
| Kokkola (Karleby) | Kokkolan Tilausliikenne Ky |
| Pietarsaari (Jakobstad) | City Taxi Jeppis |
- Neither of these is a scheduled route. One is a charter transport company, the other a taxi firm.
- Arrange the transfer for your destination before you land.
Which town
- Kokkola and Pietarsaari are about 35 km apart, on either side of the airport at Kruunupyy.
- Getting on the wrong transfer is not a short walk back.
- Kokkola is the larger town and has a railway station on the coastal main line between Oulu and Helsinki.
The names
- This is a bilingual part of Ostrobothnia. Kokkola is Karleby in Swedish, Pietarsaari is Jakobstad, and Kruunupyy is Kronoby.
- All six names refer to three places, and you will meet both forms on signage and in timetables.
