Oulu Airport (IATA: OUL, ICAO: EFOU) is located in Oulunsalo, Finland, about 15 kilometres south-west of Oulu city centre. The airport is the second busiest in Finland after Helsinki-Vantaa airport, as measured by the number of passengers (around 847,946 in 2006) and the amount of freight transported.
