Oulu Airport (IATA: OUL, ICAO: EFOU; Finnish: Oulun lentoasema, Swedish: Uleåborgs flygplats) is located in Oulu, Finland, 5.7 NM (10.6 km; 6.6 mi) south-west of the city centre. Oulu Airport is not only the second busiest in Finland, but also serves as a significant gateway to Northern Scandinavia. Situated approximately 11 kilometers west of the Oulu city center, this airport plays an instrumental role in connecting the Northern part of the country with the rest of Finland.
The airport, operated by Finavia, handled over a million passengers in 2019 and serves as a hub for diverse types of air traffic. While it primarily serves commercial airlines, it also supports a variety of other aircraft including general aviation, parachute jump flights, private jets and medical helicopter service.

MM Simulations are my go-to when it comes to Finnish airports these days and I hope the streak will continue. It certainly does with Oulu, one of the most important Finnish airports, and the hometown of one my favourite metal bands, called Sentenced (disbanded a good while ago though).
Since I knew the band, I wanted to visit them virtually, and to it in style, and now I can because this scenery genuinely rocks! Although I never landed in Oulu, I have seen many reference images and videos, and it is as real as it gets. There isn't a single area of concern; nothing really that I could complain about, MM Simulations nailed it.
The textures are super crisp as has been the case with the developer's other products in general and they got the night lights right which - for me at least - is a make or break. And so is the detailing. The balance of detail versus performance is excellent, the airport is very light on frames.
I am super happy with the third Finnish airport from MM Simulations after Ivalo and Turku. It is a top-quality product and a fantastic destination to visit.
I hope MM Simulations will consider Tampere (EFTP) and Kittilä (EFKT) at some point in the future, or even Kuopio (EFKU).
Good job guys, keep 'em comin'!
