Annually Billund's passenger traffic increases - in 2014, 600 thousand more than in 2002. To date, it is ahead of only Kastrup , located in Copenhagen .
General information
The infrastructure of the airport is very developed, which allows it to receive almost 3 million passengers a year and several million tons of cargo. Also, Billund without any problems accepts large-sized aircraft of the Boeing 747 class, which today land at this airport as part of cargo transportation. But most flights are performed on smaller planes, for example: ATR-42 or Boeing 757.
Five years ago the airport began to work with charter companies, so it began to take long-haul aircraft to Sri Lanka, Egypt, Thailand and Mexico. Despite this, the main destinations for flights were still European capitals and large cities. Surprisingly, there are 6 parking zones on the airport territory, which are named after six countries: Greenland, Kenya, Spain, USA, Australia and Egypt. So do not be surprised if you fly to Denmark, and the car will wait for you on the "Egypt".
A five-minute walk from the airport is one of the city hotels - Zleep Hotel Billund. There is a shuttle service, so it's easy to get to the terminal. Accommodation at the hotel is about 83 USD.
