The city’s one and only direct air connection is Finnair's daily  flight service from Helsinki, which takes 50 minutes.
Tartu Airport lies approximately 11km from the city centre, and the only practical way to reach town is by taxi, with fares typically in the region of €12–15.

If you’re arriving via the Tallinn Airport and transferring to Tartu, you can hop on a bus (www.tpilet.ee) that will take you directly from the capital's airport to downtown Tartu. Buses leave every hour and the trip takes about 2h20min.
