Turku Airport - Logicity

Logicity was at first a project of Pilot Turku Ltd (founded in 2003) but now operated by Turku Municipal Property Corporation after the contract with Pilot Turku Ltd ended 2010. Logicity will be a logistic hub built around Turku Airport. Logicity is supposed to link the different modes of transport together due to facts that Turku Airport is just in 20 minutes reach by sea ports of Turku and Naantali which combined values are comparable to the Port of Vuosaari in Helsinki, Both E18 highway to St. Petersburg and E63 to Tampere go via Turku Airport, and also rail transport connection to Russia and China passes by Logicity area. Pilot Turku describers Turku Region as "the meeting point of the East, the West and the Nordic countries" and as "the multimodal transport centre of the Nordic Triangle".

Logicity is estimated to make at least 3,000 to 5,000 new jobs. The length of runway at Turku airport has an option to be upgraded to reach 3,300 m (10,827 ft) to meet new demands. There are several plans set for the nearby area: new roads, commercial centres, retail parks, industrial estates, logistic terminals and offices. In fact there is already big commercial area along with the E18 ring road just few kilometers away in Kuninkoja. Logicity is planned in two phases which of phase one allows now to build 400,000 m2 (4,305,564 sq ft) of floorspace and second phase will raise it to 1,000,000 m2 (11,000,000 sq ft). Project is regionally important and many towns near airport including Turku were taking part as shareholders of Pilot Turku Ltd e.g. Kaarina, Lieto and Naantali.
