An active gliding airfield in North-Kouvola south of the Vuohijärvi village. The Kouvolan Seudun Ilmailuyhdistys (KILY) flying club and the paragliding club Kotkan Siipiveikot operate on this field.

It is possible to stay comfortably in the field even longer times: In addition to rental cabins and a trailer park common lodging is offered in the clubhouse, a dwelling rich in aviation history.
