🚌 Option 1 — Shared Bus Transfer (Most Popular)
Shared bus transfers are the standard option for most visitors. Buses meet arriving flights and take passengers directly to Levi village, dropping at hotels and apartment complexes. Pre-booking is essential — buses operate in connection with flight schedules during the ski season. Book through your tour operator, accommodation provider, or directly through Finnish transfer companies. Return journeys are also available.
🚕 Option 2 — Taxi
Taxis are available at Kittilä Airport. The fare to Levi is approximately €30–45 for the vehicle (not per person), which makes taxis economical for groups of 3–4. Journey time is around 20 minutes. Pre-booking a taxi is recommended during peak weeks — availability can be limited when many flights arrive simultaneously. Ask your accommodation for recommended local taxi companies.
🚗 Option 3 — Car Hire
Car hire is available at Kittilä Airport from major providers including Hertz, Europcar and Avis. A rental car is useful if you plan to explore beyond Levi — day trips to Äkäslompolo, Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park, or Rovaniemi. For most visitors staying within Levi village, however, a car is unnecessary — the resort is fully walkable. Winter tyres are mandatory in Finland from November to March, and all hire cars are equipped accordingly.

🔄 Getting Back to the Airport
Return transfers to Kittilä Airport work the same way — shared buses depart Levi to connect with flight departures. Book your return transfer at the same time as your arrival transfer. Check times carefully — the airport is small and fast to navigate, but allow at least 90 minutes before departure in peak season when queues build at check-in and security.
💡 Tips
- Pre-book your transfer — during Christmas and February half-term, buses fill up and last-minute taxis can be hard to find
- Check if your accommodation includes a transfer — many tour operators and apartment providers include the airport-to-Levi transfer in their package
- The airport is very small — baggage claim is quick and the exit is right next to it. Transfers are immediately outside
- You don’t need a car in Levi itself — the village is walkable and everything is close. Hire a car only if you plan day trips
