Transport in Åland

Sea travel is a vital part of Åland's economy and a major local employer.

Nordic Regional Airlines flies to Mariehamn Airport, operating for Finnair.

Road vehicles registered in Åland have number plates with blue lettering starting with ÅL.

This is due to Åland's special constitutional status and exemption from normal European Union rules on Value Added Tax and other tariffs, negotiated by Finland as part of talks leading to membership of the EU in 1995.

Eckerö Linjen operates a ferry service between Berghamn port in Eckerö, Åland and Grisslehamn port in Norrtälje Municipality, Sweden, while Finnlines operates a service from Naantali, Mainland Finland to Kapellskär (also in Norrtälje Municipality), Sweden via Långnäs.
