Martiniiskonpalo Airfield

Military abandonment following the end of World War II. The airfield was built by German forces for temporary strategic use during the Lapland War and was deserted as they retreated from Finland. It had no post-war civilian or military purpose.

The airfield is completely abandoned and has been largely reclaimed by the surrounding wilderness. The outline of the former runway is still clearly visible on satellite imagery as a long, straight clearing in the forest. The site has no remaining buildings or infrastructure and is used informally by locals as a trail for snowmobiling and all-terrain vehicles.

Martiniiskonpalo was a World War II military airfield (Feldflugplatz) constructed and operated by the German Luftwaffe. It was one of several airfields built in Finnish Lapland to support German ground forces and to protect their withdrawal routes during the Lapland War (1944-1945). It served as a forward operating base for fighter (e.g., Messerschmitt Bf 109) and reconnaissance aircraft covering the German retreat into Norway.

None. Due to its extremely remote location within a wilderness area, complete lack of infrastructure, and the existence of other active airports serving the region (such as Ivalo Airport, EFIV), there are no known plans or logical prospects for its reopening.
