ESBJERG: Esbjerg Airport's director, Susanne Kruse Sørensen, has ambitious plans for the airport. In 2020, she set a goal that the airport should eventually reach 200,000 passengers annually. After a few tough years with corona, the airport, which is owned by Esbjerg Municipality, is about halfway there with 96,713 passengers in 2023 against 83,850 in 2019, according to figures from the Danish Transport Agency.
Today, approximately 70 percent of the airport's passengers are helicopter departures to drilling platforms and wind farms in the North Sea. It is also activities in the North Sea that will support future growth, the director believes. She is aiming to close more agreements with fixed-wing aircraft for routes that support activities on the North Sea in the future, she tells MobilityWatch.
- Many of the people who are going out to the North Sea today do not come from Esbjerg. They are foreigners. We are looking at where they come from and whether we can give them a better service by flying directly to Esbjerg. That is the strategy, says Susanne Kruse Sørensen, CEO of Esbjerg Airport.
