## Description

Daily helicopter departures to North Sea oil and gas platforms define Esbjerg Airport (IATA: EBJ, ICAO: EKEB), Denmark's principal base for offshore aviation in western Jutland. CHC Helicopter and Bristow run missions to the rigs, while scheduled flights link Esbjerg with Copenhagen. The airport does handle cargo through these supply operations and specialises in particularly large and heavy consignments for the offshore industry; in 2025 it began integrating sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) on departing offshore flights. For conventional scheduled and general air freight, the nearest full cargo airport is Billund (BLL, about 80 km). For forwarders, EBJ is the gateway to the rigs rather than a mainstream freight terminal.
