Aalborg: the airport of North Jutland
Aalborg Airport (IATA AAL, ICAO EKYT) lies at Nørresundby, just six kilometers northwest of the center of Aalborg, across the Limfjord, in the north of Jutland in Denmark. It is the third airport of Denmark and the gateway to the whole of North Jutland, from the beaches of Skagen and the dunes of the west coast to the city itself, and it shares its runways with an air force base, so the radar shows fighters and transports alongside the airliners. The live radar on this page shows the traffic over the Limfjord; the arrivals and departures pages are linked above it.
Airlines and destinations
The Copenhagen shuttle is the backbone, flown many times a day by SAS and Norwegian and connecting in Kastrup with the rest of the world; KLM flies to Amsterdam, the other gateway abroad, and Norwegian also to Oslo, London Gatwick, Málaga, Alicante and Nice in season. The Danish leisure airlines Sunclass Airlines and Jettime fly package-holiday charters to the Mediterranean and the Canaries, and Atlantic Airways connects the Faroe Islands. In our route data, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Málaga, Oslo and Billund are the most frequently flown connections.
Getting into Aalborg
Bus 12 runs from the terminal to the center of Aalborg and the railway station in about twenty minutes, every quarter of an hour, with a ticket bought on board or in the Rejsekort app, and the airport's own small railway station has trains to Aalborg and on to Aarhus. Taxis take ten to fifteen minutes to the center. By car, the E39 and E45 motorways pass close by; parking is in front of the terminal, with cheaper long-term lots a short walk away. Rental cars are in the arrivals hall, and a car is the practical way to reach Skagen and the coast.
Good to know
Aalborg has one terminal with a single security checkpoint and the gates a few steps away; an hour before departure is plenty, except on the charter departure days in the school holidays. Denmark is in Schengen and cards work everywhere. The air force base means occasional noise and restricted areas. For more routes, Billund is two hours south with Ryanair and the Legoland crowds, Aarhus is the small airport of Denmark's second city, and Copenhagen is the hub for everything else.
