Fully civilian Finavia public airport (Finland’s oldest civilian airport lineage: Artukainen 1935; current Rusko/Lentokenttä site opened 1955). Official site: finavia.fi/en/airports/turku. Terminal hours follow the flight schedule (Finavia contacts). No ATM or post box on site. - >- Wikipedia’s Finavia-sourced passenger table: 278,503 passengers in calendar 2025 (+9.2% YoY) and 255,014 in 2024 — Finland’s fifth-busiest Finavia airport by passengers in 2025. Domestic traffic is thin (about 6.4k in 2025); almost all volume is international. Pre-COVID 2019 on the same table: 452,927. - >- Single passenger terminal after Terminal 2 was demolished (2015); low-cost check-in uses the main building’s ground floor. Runway 08/26 is 2,500 × 60 m asphalt; aerodrome elevation 162 ft (AIP EFTU). Finavia Airport of the Year 2003 / 2011 / 2018. - >- Network spine (verify live FIDS): Wizz Air (Gdańsk, Bucharest Otopeni, Vilnius), SAS (Copenhagen, Stockholm), airBaltic (Riga), populAir (Mariehamn). Finnair restarts Turku–Helsinki flying in October 2026 (Finavia 10 Jun 2026): overnight AY229/AY230 plus daytime AY654 via ARN — ATR metal; daytime coach substitute continues for some banks. - >- Ground access: Föli city bus line 1 between the airport and Turku centre (Finavia public-transport page). Adult single €3.15 (app / contactless / machines); cash on board €4.50; night surcharge +€1 from 23:00–04:00 (Föli 2026 ticket pages). Taxis wait at the stand during scheduled arrivals; free booking hotline phone by the entrance. Parking in front of the terminal — Parkman / EasyPark / Moovy apps (cheaper than lobby machines); EV €0.25/kWh + €4 start (Virta). - >- No Priority Pass / LoungeKey club is listed for TKU — Priority Pass Finland directory is Helsinki-only. Finavia’s VIP Lounge is a bookable Finnish-design meeting/VIP room (~10–15 guests), not a walk-up network lounge. F&B: Turku Cafe landside (weekday lunch 10:45–13:30), Turku Cafe airside gate area, and Aura Bar downstairs by gate 21 (opens ~2 h before listed Wizz departures). Free Wi-Fi SSID “Turku Airport Free Wi-Fi” (no login). bentoTips: - label: Timing title: Services track the departure banks — do not expect a 24/7 café detail: >- Finavia contacts: the terminal opens with the flight schedule. Landside Turku Cafe, airside Turku Cafe, and Aura Bar all staff around departing flights; Aura Bar explicitly opens about two hours before its Wizz Air departures next to gate 21. For a typical LCC bank, 90–120 minutes before STD is the realistic window if you need airside food or tax-free bits. summary: Building hours follow FIDS — early/late banks can find counters closed. category: timing - label: Terminal title: 'One Finavia hall — TKU is not TMP, MHQ, or HEL' detail: >- Check-in, security, both Turku Cafes, Aura Bar, and the gates share one compact terminal (former Terminal 2 is gone). There is no airside train. Confusing TKU with TMP (Tampere-Pirkkala), MHQ (Mariehamn), POR (Pori), or HEL on a southwest-Finland itinerary is the expensive failure mode. summary: Single terminal; the costly error is mixing TKU with TMP / MHQ / HEL. category: terminal - label: Food title: Landside lunch window + flight-tied airside cafe / Aura Bar detail: >- Turku Cafe before security: specialty coffee, pastries, sandwiches; weekday homemade-style lunch 10:45–13:30. After security: Turku Cafe in the gate area (snacks, coffee, small tax-free alcohol/souvenirs) plus Aura Bar downstairs by gate 21 for Wizz banks. Hours follow departures — eat in Turku centre before very early outbound flights. summary: >- Real Finavia/SSP cafes, but flight-tied; landside lunch is a weekday window. category: food - label: Status title: Föli line 1 into town; taxi stand if the timetable misses you detail: >- Finavia’s public-transport page: Föli bus line 1 links the airport and Turku centre — check reittiopas.foli.fi / the Föli app for live times. Adult single €3.15 (app/contactless); cash on bus €4.50; +€1 night 23:00–04:00. Taxi stand at arrivals with a free booking phone by the entrance. App parking undercuts machine rates; day rate from €16 (app) / €19 (machine) for 8–24 h. summary: Bus 1 is the cheap default; taxi covers gaps; app parking beats machines. category: status lounges: [] waterOptions: - kind: free name: Restroom taps (bring an empty bottle) zone: airside summary: >- Finavia does not publish a dedicated bottle-filler map for Turku. Finnish tap water is potable — refill from restroom cold taps after screening with an empty bottle, or ask cafe staff for water when Turku Cafe airside is open. Traveler reports also mention drinking fountains near airside restrooms; treat those as secondary to official tap-water guidance. location: Landside and airside toilet blocks in the single terminal terminal: Main terminal isBestValue: true - kind: purchase name: Turku Cafe / Aura Bar bottled drinks zone: airside price: Café pricing when open (varies by flight bank) summary: >- Sealed water and soft drinks at Turku Cafe (gate area) or Aura Bar when those outlets are staffed for departures.
