<p class="blog-para"><strong>Beginnings as domestic airfield </strong></p>
<p class="blog-para">Kuopio Airport was completed in November 1939 and flight operations started in May 1940. It was used by the Luftwaffe during World War II (1942&ndash;43). During the Continuation War the runways were made from plywood. The first terminal building was opened in 1949 before a new one replaced it in 1971.</p>
<p class="blog-para">The airport is situated amid North Savonian lake country and literally surrounded by water. The airport serves the growing Kuopio region, and most of the passengers passing through the airport are business travellers. The airport also provides a setting for active general aviation.</p>
