Vaasa (VAA): Lifti runs between the airport and the city
Vaasa has ordinary city public transport to the airport, run by Lifti, rather than a charter or on-demand arrangement.
- Lifti, the Vaasa region public transport, operates between the city centre and the airport.
- That means an ordinary bus fare and an ordinary timetable, which is not the case at several other Finnish regional airports.
- Timetables are published by Lifti, which Finavia links to rather than reproducing.
- Vaasa has a railway station with connections to the rest of Finland, listed by VR.
- Matkahuolto covers the long distance coach network.
- Vaasa is the Swedish end of the Wasaline ferry to Umea, across the Gulf of Bothnia.
- The city is bilingual, Vaasa in Finnish and Vasa in Swedish.
- The airport is about 10 km southeast of the centre.
The bus
- Lifti is the Vaasa region public transport operator and it runs between the city centre and the airport.
- This is the straightforward case. At several Finnish regional airports the "bus" is a charter or an on-demand taxi; at Vaasa it is the city network.
- Timetables are on Lifti's own site, which Finavia links to.
Onward
- Vaasa has a railway station with services to the rest of the country. VR publishes the timetables.
- Matkahuolto covers the coaches.
- Wasaline sails from Vaasa to Umea in Sweden, across the Gulf of Bothnia, which makes this a genuine international connection point rather than just a regional airport.
The names
- Vaasa in Finnish, Vasa in Swedish. This is a bilingual city in Ostrobothnia and both forms appear on signs.
