## Description

Joensuu Airport (IATA: JOE, ICAO: EFJO) sits in the municipality of Liperi, about 11 km northwest of Joensuu in North Karelia, close to Finland's eastern border with Russia. Finnair is the sole carrier, typically operating a single daily link to Helsinki under a state-subsidised purchased-traffic contract running from 29 March 2026 to 27 February 2028. There is no freighter service and no cargo terminal; consignments travel at most as belly load. The region's mainstay – timber and forest products – moves by rail and road rather than by air. Air freight for eastern Finland clears at Helsinki-Vantaa (HEL, roughly 440 km southwest) and is trucked onward, with Kuopio (KUO) the nearest inland alternative. For forwarders, JOE is a passenger feeder, not a cargo station.
