Nearly 3.5 million passengers at Tallinn Airport in 2025
In 2025, 3,488,104 passengers travelled through Tallinn Airport. Passenger numbers at regional airports also increased, resulting in a record total of 3,581,620 air passengers using airports in Estonia.
“The past year proved to be one of the most successful in the history of AS Tallinn Airport and its subsidiaries. Although Estonia’s economic situation has been challenging in recent years, demand for travel has shown no signs of decline. This is reflected in Tallinn Airport’s passenger numbers, which were only 4,000 passengers, or just 0.1%, below the previous year. At the same time, passenger numbers at Tartu Airport grew rapidly, meaning that the total number of passengers at Estonian airports reached an all-time high,” said Riivo Tuvike, Chairman of the Management Board of AS Tallinn Airport.

Read MoreNIB to support Tallinn Airport expansion
The project will support Tallinn Airport’s long-term development by increasing capacity, improving the passenger experience, and enhancing operational efficiency. By strengthening international air connectivity, the expansion will contribute to the growth of Estonia’s business and tourism sectors.
In 2024, Tallinn Airport served 3.5 million passengers, exceeding its current design capacity of 3 million. To respond to rising demand, the expansion will increase annual capacity to up to 5.5 million passengers, ensuring the airport can continue to operate efficiently and comfortably as traffic grows.
“We highly value our long-standing relationship with NIB, whose support has been instrumental in advancing essential infrastructure across the Nordic–Baltic region. Their confidence in our development plans is an important recognition of the work we are doing to ensure Tallinn Airport can grow sustainably and continue serving passengers at the highest level,” said Anneli Turkin, CFO of Tallinn Airport.

Read MoreTallinn Airport is now carbon neutral
Since 2018, Tallinn Airport has reduced carbon emissions from its operations by 96%. An audit carried out under the Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) global carbon management certification programme has confirmed that the airport achieved carbon neutrality based on the actions adopted in 2024 (certified in 2025). To receive certification, the company was required to reduce its emissions by at least 90%, for us the remaining 4% – related to de-icing activities and employee business travel – permitted to be offset.
This substantial reduction in emissions represents a significant achievement, reflecting the effectiveness of the actions and commitment demonstrated by the company, its employees, and partners.
According to Anneli Turkin, Member of the Management Board of Tallinn Airport, Tallinn has for years served as a role model for other airports across Europe, particularly through its determination and tangible actions, which have now resulted in the achievement of carbon neutrality. “Since 2018, we have systematically collected data, calculated and reduced our carbon footprint, and involved our partners in the process. Everyone’s contribution has been invaluable, and the change in our employees’ behaviour has had a major impact – the CO₂e emissions per employee at Tallinn Airport have decreased from 38 tonnes to just 1.3 tonnes,” said Turkin, adding that he is extremely proud of the entire airport team.

Read MoreTallinn Airport Launches Extensive Expansion of the Passenger Terminal
Tallinn Airport is embarking on the largest development project in its history, expanding the passenger terminal to accommodate future growth. By 2030, the airport expects to serve nearly 5 million passengers a year — a volume that exceeds the capacity of the current terminal. The terminal expansion is divided into five stages to allow construction in different parts of the building at different times, with works continuing until 2030.
The existing terminal was designed to serve 2.8 million passengers per year, yet today more than 3.5 million people already pass through Tallinn Airport annually. By 2030, the number is projected to reach nearly 5 million. The total estimated cost of the development project is 75 million euros, making it the largest investment in the airport’s history. The exact cost will be determined after all procurement processes have been completed. “Most of the design work has now been finalised. Construction of the first phase inside the terminal has already begun, and the next major construction tender will be announced in mid-December with estimated cost of 50 million auros,” said Riivo Tuvike, Chairman of the Management Board of Tallinn Airport.
“This expansion provides a foundation for future developments, which is why we designed the new volumes to integrate naturally with the existing terminal’s architecture,” explained architect Jaan Kuusemets from Dagopen. “The northern extension and smaller additions continue the terminal’s parapet line and will eventually be tied together with an elegant ribbon façade. The roof shape, overall massing and height are derived from the proportions of the historical terminal, reinterpreted in a contemporary architectural language to create a balanced and context-sensitive composition.”
