In 2017, a total of 119,714 passengers used Finavia’s Joensuu Airport. The airport serves both business and leisure travellers. Five flights depart to Helsinki from Joensuu on weekdays, and three flights on both days of the weekend.

The terminal facilities at Joensuu Airport were renovated in 2015.
