Ylivieska Airfield ( IATA: YLI [2], ICAO: EFYL) is an aerodrome located in Vähäkangas, Ylivieska, Finland, about 10 kilometres (6 mi) east-southeast of Ylivieska town centre. [1]
The airfield was opened in 1982, and it replaced the old airfield in Niemenkylä. [3] The airport had commercial service until 1996, and the runway was ILS equipped prior to the aerodrome's relegation to uncontrolled status in late 2003. [4]
