The most frequent flights to Aalborg Airport goes through Copenhagen Airport.
There is a direct Gatwick-Aalborg flight but only in the evening.
There are direct flights on the routes Stansted-Aarhus and Girona-Aarhus. Aarhus Airport is not easily accessible from Aalborg by public transport, but we may be able to arrange a pick up in Aarhus if those flights are the best option for a group of you. Please send an email to Preben Fihl before making the reservation so that I can make sure that the pick up is possible.
