LogiCity’s strengths as an air freight hub are highlighted by swift turnaround at its uncongested and well run airport, readily available capacity for flexible operational expansion, and a prime location along the key Northern European traffic routes. The ground and terminal facilities in the area are being actively developed through increasingly efficient operating models and next generation processes and services.

Global logistics operators DHL and TNT have already validated Finland’s biggest logistics centre project by making LogiCity the focus of their express cargo flights. One of the essential factors underlying their decision to invest was LogiCity’s quick and easy accessibility by different modes of transport:

  • The area encompasses the airport, motorway, and rail links to the East
  • Only a 15 minute drive to the ports of Turku and Naantali which offer frequent sea connections
  • Airport operates 24/7/365
  • No schedule or other flight constraints
  • An ample number of flight slots available


Low costs in the Turku region


One of the key benefits Turku Airport offers its air freight operators is low labour and infrastructure costs. Well-trained expert personnel are available on reasonable salaries by international standards. Turku also offers inexpensive land and office space compared to larger cities.


Scandinavian, Northern European and Russian markets meet at LogiCity in Turku


Flights from Asia and the United States to Europe are often routed across Finland. Turku offers efficient land and sea connections to Scandinavia, the rest of Northern Europe and markets in Western Russia. The Turku region is Finland’s optimal location in which to combine pick-up and delivery for uniquely effective air freight and road transport operations.Some 90 million people live within a one thousand kilometre radius of Turku.
