Name of the Airport is "Porin lentoasema" (Pori Airport, literally "Airport of Pori"... don't know why the possessive suffix has been added to the name)
Oh... and just to be clear ('cause I just realised that my previous comment could easily be misunderstood) ... I am absolutely fine which ever is used as the name. My original issue was that the "name" of the airport two weeks ago was simply "EFPO (EFPO)". In fact, I believe calling it "Pori" is a lot easier to people who don't speak finnish - it is nearly impossible for them to pronounce it in a way that sounds even remotely correct if they try the longer native version

Regarding moderator comment on scenery #37313 ... the name of the airport is "Porin Lentoasema", as can be seen in this picture: http://www.raumalainen.fi/sites/default/files/images/4349054.jpg
The name of the city the airport resides in, however, is "Pori"... just to let you know (yeah, we finns have a very boring way of naming our airports
