Kärdla Airport (KDL) is a small airport serving Kärdla, Estonia, located at 58.9886, 22.7247 with an elevation of 17 ft. It is on the island of Hiiumaa in the Baltic Sea, classified as a small airport with scheduled service. The OurAirports record indicates it is a public airport listed for scheduled traffic, though service may be limited or seasonal.
The IATA code KDL is used for passenger-facing systems such as bookings, while the airport’s geographic coordinates are used for navigation and weather reports. The OurAirports record lists the airport as serving the town of Kardla, with the broader region being Hiiumaa. Elevation at sea level and the small-airport type together indicate a facility built for short domestic hops rather than international wide-body operations.
Understanding the Airport’s Scale and Location#
The airport’s low elevation and coastal coordinates reflect its island setting. As a small airport, it has a short runway and basic terminal facilities, which means travelers should expect limited services and check operating hours in advance. Its scheduled service flag suggests it appears in airline systems, but travelers should not assume daily commercial flights without confirmation. Road access on Hiiumaa and ferry connections to the mainland are part of journey planning.
