## Description

Halli Airport (IATA: KEV, ICAO: EFHA) matters to aerospace manufacturing rather than to freight forwarding, and the distinction is worth stating plainly: this is a Finnish Air Force airfield near Jämsä in Central Finland with no scheduled flights, no cargo terminal and no public customs facility. Patria Aviation runs a maintenance and flight-test centre here and, in a plant opened in June 2025, began producing F-35 forward fuselages in March 2026, adding landing gear doors in the spring. Patria is the first partner outside the United States to build forward fuselages for the type, under a framework covering 400 fuselage and door sets between 2026 and 2042, all delivered to Lockheed Martin's final assembly line in Fort Worth, Texas. Those outsize aerospace components leave the site on works transport by road and by charter or military airlift rather than through any commercial cargo handling at KEV. Regional air freight is handled at Tampere-Pirkkala (TMP), about 90 road kilometres away, with larger and intercontinental consignments moving through Helsinki-Vantaa (HEL) roughly 230 kilometres off. Sea legs typically run via the Baltic ports of Rauma or Helsinki. For forwarders, KEV is an industrial and defence address, not a cargo option.
