## Description

Redstone Aero runs Helsinki-East Aerodrome (ICAO: EFPR) at Pyhtää as a training and aerospace test field rather than a freight station: there is no IATA code, no scheduled traffic and no cargo handling. Core activities are commercial pilot training, aerial work such as power-line inspection, and aircraft manufacturing and maintenance. The Finnish state has invested €2.5 million in a future air-traffic testbed and research centre on the site, the LIFT Future Aerospace Center, which makes the field attractive for trial and drone operations. Air freight for south-eastern Finland is handled at Helsinki-Vantaa (IATA: HEL), the country's only airport with proper cargo terminals and long-haul connections, with Lappeenranta (IATA: LPP) as a small charter alternative. For heavy or bulky consignments the nearby seaport of HaminaKotka is usually the cheaper route. Trucking between Pyhtää and Vantaa takes about an hour and a half on the E18.
