Lost and Found Rovaniemi Airport (RVN)

Lost something at Rovaniemi Airport ? At the gateway to Lapland and Santa Claus Village, here is how to report a lost item and get it back.

About Rovaniemi Airport

Rovaniemi Airport (RVN) sits about 8 kilometres north of Rovaniemi in Finnish Lapland, and just 3 kilometres from Santa Claus Village. It works from a single, compact terminal serving both domestic and international flights.

The airport is served by Finnair and a range of seasonal charter carriers from across Europe, with traffic peaking heavily over the Christmas and winter season. Because the terminal is small and easy to navigate, staff can usually check the whole building quickly once a loss is reported. Most flights connect Rovaniemi with the rest of Finland and, in winter, with cities across Europe.

The airport is linked to Rovaniemi and Santa Claus Village by local buses and airport transfer coaches, which run especially frequently in the winter charter season. Items are sometimes left on these coaches or at the bus stop just outside the terminal.

How to Report a Lost Item at Rovaniemi Airport

If you are still at the airport, the lost property point is easy to reach in the compact terminal, and staff can check the building quickly. If you have already left, note your flight and where you last had the item, then get in touch, ideally before you fly home.

Where Items Get Left at Rovaniemi

At a small, busy winter airport, items most often turn up at:

• At the security checkpoint
• Single departures lounge and gate seating
• The baggage reclaim area
• Airport transfer coaches and bus stop
• The car and coach park during the winter season

Some Reporting Tips That May Help

• Give the flight number and roughly when you lost the item
• Mention if you used a transfer coach, since items are often left on them
• Describe the item in detail, including a bag’s contents
• Keep your boarding pass and bag tags
• Report before you fly home, especially in the busy winter season

Collecting Your Property

Found items are collected from the lost property point with matching identification. If you have already flown home, you can authorise someone in writing to collect for you, with copies of your ID and theirs.

Getting It Back After You’ve Left Lapland

Yes, as long as the item was handed in. Confirm it is being held, then arrange a trusted collection or a courier home, which is often simplest once you have travelled back. Act quickly for anything valuable.
