Location
Utti / Valkeala, Finland
Utti Air Base (ICAO: EFUT) is a military airfield located near Utti in the Valkeala region of southeastern Finland, approximately 170 km northeast of Helsinki. It serves as the primary base for the Finnish Army Aviation and the Finnish Air Force's helicopter operations, including transport, search and rescue, and training missions. The base hosts the Army Aviation Regiment and is home to Finland's military helicopter fleet, including NH90 and MD 500 helicopters. While primarily a military installation, Utti has a limited civilian aviation presence and is used for general aviation and parachuting activities. The airfield has a long history tied to Finnish military aviation and has undergone modernization to support contemporary rotary-wing operations. Its strategic location in southeastern Finland makes it significant for rapid deployment and regional defense purposes.

The base is accessible primarily by private vehicle, with the nearest major road being the E18 motorway connecting to Kouvola and beyond.
