Tallinn Ulemiste Airport (TLL)
Airport Information
(Tallinn, Estonia)
Also known as Ulemiste Airport, Tallinn Airport (TLL) is Estonia's largest airport, with domestic and international flights serving over 1.5 million passengers annually. It is located on the eastern shore of Lake Ulemiste, just over 3 km / 2 miles from Tallinn city centre and close to Jüri, Lagedi, Lehmja and Loo. The airport is also near to Muuga Harbour (the Port of Tallinn) and underwent major reconstruction in the late 1990s. Its facilities now rival those at airports in Western Europe.
