Hyvinkää Airfield (HYV/EFHV) is a small general aviation airfield in southern Finland, located about 4 km north of Hyvinkää city center in Uusimaa. Established in the 1930s, it has long supported gliding, parachuting, and recreational flying and remains a base for local aviation clubs. There are no scheduled commercial flights; the field primarily serves private pilots and seasonal aviation events.
💡 Local Tip
Check the club event calendar before visiting: weekends with gliding or parachuting activity offer the best atmosphere, but the clubhouse and café may only be open while flying is underway. For viewing, stay well clear of runway and parachute drop zones and ask before walking near hangars or parked aircraft.
🚖 Getting There
The airfield lies roughly 4 km north of Hyvinkää city center, near the E75/Highway 3 corridor, so a car or taxi is the most straightforward way to reach it. From Hyvinkää railway station, use a taxi or ride-hailing service; local bus connections to the airfield area may be infrequent. Drivers should confirm gate access and parking arrangements in advance, especially outside active flying hours.
