## Description

Ryanair is the last airline standing at Lappeenranta Airport (IATA: LPP, ICAO: EFLP), and even it now offers only a handful of flights a month to Milan Bergamo (BGY). Set on Lake Saimaa in south-east Finland, barely 30 km from the Russian border, the field spent years as a Ryanair base and a low-cost gateway for travellers from St. Petersburg before the eastern border closed. Falling income from reduced general-aviation and training flights pushed the city of Lappeenranta, which runs the airport, into an open debate in 2025 about whether to keep it operating. There is effectively no air cargo today — Ryanair carries none — so forwarders route freight through Helsinki-Vantaa (IATA: HEL), about 220 km west.
