Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport Guide
Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport sits about 5 km southeast of Tallinn's city centre, beside Lake Ülemiste. It is Estonia's only major international airport and the country's busiest. The airport handled about 3.5 million passengers in 2024 and 42,403 aircraft movements. It has a single runway, 08/26, 3,480 metres long and 45 metres wide.
The airport was officially opened on 20 September 1936. It was renamed in March 2009 to honour Lennart Meri, the first post-independence President of Estonia. The owner and operator is AS Tallinna Lennujaam, which is wholly owned by the Republic of Estonia. The company also manages the airports at Kuressaare, Kärdla, Pärnu and Tartu, and the airfields at Kihnu and Ruhnu.
All passenger flights operate from a single terminal that handles both Schengen and non-Schengen traffic. A €75 million modernisation project is adding 16,500 square metres of new space and renovating 18,000 square metres of existing facilities across five stages, to raise capacity to 5 million passengers a year by 2030.
