The world’s largest orienteering relay requires top‑class transport logistics to run smoothly. In this crucial role is Kymenlaakson Taksi, the official transport partner of Jukola 2026.
This partnership ensures seamless transfers between Kotka city centre, accommodation sites, and the competition centre at Kymin lentokenttä (Kymi Airfield) — all handled with professionalism and excellent local knowledge.
At the heart of the partnership are three themes: reliable logistics, responsible travel through shared rides, and a sense of community where local professionals serve the event’s guests.
A Reliable Local Transport Partner
Kymenlaakson Taksi has been providing safe and smooth rides around the clock for decades. As a local operator, they know the streets of Kymenlaakso and the traffic solutions around event venues — even when the region experiences exceptionally heavy visitor flow.
During the Jukola weekend, you can be certain that with Kymenlaakson Taksi your journey will be smooth, safe, and always along the most direct route.
You’ll recognize their taxis by their yellow colour. Hop into a familiar “yellow nose” and focus fully on your Jukola experience!
Smooth Transport for Competitors and Visitors
