## Description

Gliders and a handful of private aircraft share a single 1,500-metre asphalt strip at Kitee Airfield (IATA: KTQ, ICAO: EFIT) in North Karelia, about 10 km from the town of Kitee and close to the Russian border. The field is general-aviation and VFR-only, with no scheduled passenger or cargo service. Air freight from eastern Finland routes through Joensuu (JOE, about 80 km) or the Helsinki (HEL) hub. For forwarders, Kitee has no cargo role.
