Källälivi Nalkki Airport (IATA: KLN, ACAO: NVKN; Valkean: Källälivi Nalkkin Lentoasema), also known as Nalkki Airport, is one of two international airports serving Källälivi and its surrounding metropolitan area. The airport is located in the district of Nalkki, 15 kilometers east of Källälivi city center. It currently serves as the main domestic hub for Valkea Airlines and its regional subsidiary, Valkea AirExpress, as well as the primary hub for Aurora Skyways.
Nalkki served as the main international airport of Källälivi until 1978. Despite most international traffic having shifted to Vuotola Airport, Nalkki remains as the country's largest domestic hub and the second busiest Valkean airport overall, handling 22.3 million passengers in 2019. The airport is operated by the Källälivi Airports Authority, which also operates Vuotola Airport.
