About Kärdla Airport
Kärdla Airport serves Kärdla and Hiiumaa, Estonia's second-largest island, and provides an important air link between the island and Tallinn. Located about 6 km east of Kärdla town centre in Hiiessaare, the airport mainly handles domestic flights operated by NyxAir, with a typical flight time to Tallinn of around 30 minutes.
The airport has one asphalt runway, 14/32, and a single compact passenger terminal designed for small aircraft operations. It is operated by AS Tallinna Lennujaam and keeps passenger handling simple, with check-in, security screening and a waiting area located close together within the terminal.
Travelers can reach Kärdla by county bus, taxi, pre-booked transfer or car, and free parking is available in front of the terminal. The airport bus connects scheduled arrivals and departures with Kärdla bus station, while taxis operate on a call-ahead basis.
Because the airport is small and flights are infrequent, most passengers find it quick and straightforward to pass through, but onward transport on Hiiumaa is best arranged in advance.
