Hyvinkää Airfield, identified by the IATA code HYV and ICAO code EFHV, is one of Finland's most active general aviation and gliding hubs. Located approximately 3 kilometers from the town of Hyvinkää, the airfield holds significant historical value, having served as the country's primary commercial airport for a period immediately following World War II. Today, it remains a vital piece of Finnish aviation infrastructure, acting as a critical base for recreational pilots, flight training organizations, and specialized gliding clubs from across southern Finland.
The airfield's physical infrastructure is built for high-frequency light aircraft operations, featuring two asphalt runways: a primary 1,260-meter runway (04/22) and a secondary 790-meter crosswind strip (12/30). While the facility does not host a conventional commercial passenger terminal, it provides a well-equipped base for its numerous resident organizations. Amenities include multiple cafeterias operated by local flight clubs, such as Jukolan Pilotit, which provide self-service refreshments and gathering spaces for aviators. Technical support is comprehensive, with several fuel types available on-site, including AVGAS 100LL and Jet-A1, alongside specialized hangar maintenance services.
Flight operations at Hyvinkää are focused exclusively on general aviation, private charters, and high-performance gliding. During the summer months, the airfield is a center for aerial activity, utilizing both tow planes and winching systems for gliders. While there are no scheduled commercial airline services at this location, the airfield's proximity to the Helsinki metropolitan area makes it a preferred choice for private executive travel and pilot training. Ground transportation is well-supported by local taxi services and the region's robust rail and road network, providing efficient access to the nearby city center and the Finnish Aviation Museum at Helsinki-Vantaa.
