## Description

A new direct link to Nuuk has changed the freight picture at Aalborg Airport (IATA: AAL, ICAO: EKYT): launched in 2025, it lifted cargo to the highest level in the airport's history, including a new monthly record. Denmark's third-busiest airport handled 1,500,543 passengers in 2025, up 3.6% and its best result since 2018, with domestic traffic alone growing 10.3% to 836,192. Unusually for a regional airport, AAL runs its own cargo centre with warehousing, on-site customs clearance and forwarding support, and has invested in equipment for larger consignments. Typical traffic is time-critical general cargo, spare parts and Greenland-bound freight; intercontinental volumes still route through Copenhagen (IATA: CPH, about 200 km away). SAS, Ryanair and other carriers serve more than 35 destinations, with Athens and Hurghada among the 2025 additions, drawing on a northern Jutland catchment of some 2.4 million people. The site lies about 5 km north-west of the city on the E45 motorway, which ties it into the Danish and northern German road network.
