Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport is the largest and busiest airport in Estonia, serving the capital city of Tallinn. It handles the majority of Estonia's international passenger and cargo traffic, connecting the Baltic state to destinations across Europe and beyond. The airport was renamed in 2009 in honor of Lennart Meri, Estonia's first post-Soviet president and a noted writer and filmmaker. It has undergone significant modernization since Estonian independence, with terminal expansions improving passenger capacity and facilities. The airport serves as a hub for Nordica, the Estonian national carrier, and attracts numerous low-cost and full-service European airlines. Its proximity to the city center—approximately four kilometers—makes it one of the more conveniently located airports in the Baltic region.
