Tallinn Airport, renowned for its exceptional service and awarded the Airport Service Quality (ASQ) Award for seven consecutive years in the 2-5 million passenger category, is taking passenger engagement to the next level with exciting new fitness and sports initiatives. To create a more dynamic, interactive, and enjoyable airport experience, these initiatives offer passengers opportunities to stay active and entertained before their flights.
Riivo Tuvike, Chairman of the Management Board of Tallinn Airport, shared his excitement: “At Tallinn Airport, we have collaborated with various companies to brand different gates, creating a playful and cozy atmosphere. This unique approach offers variety for frequent travellers while also providing our partners with distinctive branding opportunities, generating additional advertising revenue for the airport.”
Fitness Centre at Gate 7
One of the standout features of Tallinn Airport’s new offerings is the fitness centre at Gate 7, developed in collaboration with local sports club chain MyFitness. The fitness centre is equipped with a range of cardio machines, yoga space, treadmills, and back benches, catering to all fitness levels. The best part? It’s completely free for passengers to use, allowing them to stay energized and active before their flights.
Tuvike emphasized the importance of wellness for travellers, saying, “Exercise is important, and we are thrilled to offer travellers the opportunity to work out before their flights. Our airport cafés also offer a variety of healthy food options and heartier meals for those looking to refuel post-workout.”
Fun Sports and Interactive Activities
In celebration of Tallinn’s designation as the European Capital of Sport in 2025, the airport has partnered with the City of Tallinn to further enhance its sporty initiatives. At Gate 9, passengers can enjoy interactive activities like ping-pong, checkers, and hopscotch, turning the wait time into a fun and active experience. Fitness enthusiasts can challenge themselves with bike and ski trainers, or relax while catching live broadcasts of major international sports events.
Paralympic Gate: Education and Awareness
Another unique addition to Tallinn Airport is the Paralympics Gate, created in collaboration with the Estonian Sports and Olympic Museum. This exhibition offers passengers the chance to learn about parasports and the specialized equipment used by athletes with disabilities. The interactive experience provides a deep dive into the history and development of Paralympic sports, raising awareness while educating travellers about these inspiring athletes.
