Until 2006 the airport had a relatively stable flow of domestic business travellers, but after 2009 it has relied on international low-price flights, with higher volatility. The reason for the passenger decline from 2006 to 2009 was mainly the opening of the new railway shortcut Lahti–Kerava in September 2006. The shortcut shortened the travel time by rail to Helsinki and caused the closure of the Helsinki air route. In March 2010, Ryanair started flights to Lappeenranta, its second destination in Finland after Tampere. AirBaltic flew to Lappeenranta from November 2009 to January 2014. In 2015, Ryanair announced ceasing flights to Lappeenranta.[5] The last scheduled flight to Bergamo was operated on 21 October 2015.[6]
