ESBJERG: Esbjerg Airport is an important transport artery for the offshore industry in the West Jutland city. 2023 has been a tough year for the airport, if you look at the economy. Here, a profit of 0.5 million DKK was expected, but instead it ended with a blood-curdling loss of 7.5 million DKK. The deficit is due, among other things, to a decrease in the number of flights, especially to Stavanger and within helicopter traffic, writes JydskeVestkysten.
Henning Ravn (V), who is chairman of the Planning & Urban Development Committee in Esbjerg Municipality, is neither "surprised nor shocked that it costs money to have and operate an airport". He points out, among other things, that in Denmark it is almost only in Billund and Kastrup that the airports can run around without support. Therefore, the support for the airport does not waver, as it is important for Esbjerg.
- This applies to both the offshore industry, the port and the municipality in general. But also to the entire country through our role as Host Nation for NATO. In this way, we have to see Esbjerg Airport as part of a whole and not as an independent and isolated business, says Henning Ravn.
