Kemijärvi Airfield is an airfield in Kemijärvi, Finland, about west of Kemijärvi town centre.

Controversy The Finnish Defense Forces blocked a 2018 attempt to purchase or lease the Kemijärvi Airfield by China's Polar Research Institute, which had proposed the idea to the city of Kemijärvi through a delegation that included Major Lie Ji, an assistant to the military attaché of the Chinese Embassy in Finland. The airfield's proximity to Rovajärvi, Europe's largest artillery range, and a European Union directive restricting foreign investment were given by a consultant at Finland's Ministry of Defense as reasons for the objection.
