RVN Airport Transfer | Rovaniemi Airport — Lapland Finland

Rovaniemi Airport (IATA: RVN) is Finland's most seasonally dramatic airport, handling a massive influx of charter flights from across Europe during December and early January for the Christmas season, and a steady stream of Northern Lights visitors from September through March. The airport is 10 kilometres north of Rovaniemi city and 3 kilometres from Santa Claus Village. During the Christmas peak, the terminal processes several charter arrivals simultaneously — taxi supply is overwhelmed within minutes. A LocalsRide driver waits for you, ensuring a vehicle is confirmed before your flight even lands.
