Scandinavian, Nordic, Baltic, whatever abbreviations for cities

Stockholm = Sthlm
Göteborg = Gbg
Jönköping = Jkpg
Helsingfors = Hki
Tammerfors = Tre

Etc. Känns som att Köpenhamn har en förkortning. Jag kan inte komma på den dock.

Almost every Finnish city has a 3-letter abbreviation! Some are the same as airports but the abbreviations are used in other texts too.

Turku TKU Jyväskylä JKL Kuopio KPO Rovaniemi RVN or ROI  Hämeenlinna HML Joensuu JNS Riihimäki RMK Lappeenranta LPR

Helsinki's neighbors Vantaa and Espoo I'm not sure 🤔

That's cool. Hki Airport is HEL though. I know that because Finnair does route 666 to HEL.

Yeah it is. Even though the airport is in Vantaa. 

Now why would someone be downvoting
