Ionic Insights: The Business Jet Fleet in Lapland

Welcome to our seasonal edition of Ionic Insights in which we focus on the installed business jet fleet in Lapland!

Lapland is Finland's northernmost region and makes up about one-third of the country’s overall landmass. The indigenous ‘Sámi’ people have lived in Lapland for centuries – their traditional homeland of Sápmi extending not only to Finland but across Sweden, Norway and Russia also. Lapland’s population, totalling approximately 180,000, is nowadays outnumbered by reindeer…

But, the importance of reindeer doesn't end there. The capital, Rovaniemi, is Lapland's largest city and is known as the official hometown of Santa Claus. Largely destroyed during World War II, Rovaniemi's post-war reconstruction centred around a street plan designed to resemble a reindeer, with roads forming the outline of the head and a stadium serving as the eye.

Lapland's GDP is greater than 7 billion euros, the majority of which is exported. The GDP per capita exceeds €40,000. Most of the gold used in Finnish coins is mined in Lapland, whilst the origin of the chocolate remains something of a mystery...

Lapland's economy is service sector driven, although industry (notably mining, metals and wood processing) and high-tech manufacturing remains important. The region boasts a burgeoning tourism sector and abundant natural resources such as timber and fresh water.
