Travel Information
The official airline of the conference is Scandinavian Airline Systems SAS
Getting to Denmark is easy. Denmark is a peninsular in Northern Europe, which means you can go by car or train from any of the North European countries. Århus is close to the E45 motorway.
There are flights from several destinations throughout the world to three different airports in Denmark. If you arrive in Copenhagen Airport – the largest in Scandinavia – you can either choose to fly on to Billund Airport, Århus Airport, or Karup Airport, or you can travel by train or rent a car. From both Billund and Århus Airport there are airport busses to Århus.
Århus Airport
Situated less than a 40-minute drive north east of Århus, Århus Airport has 8 to 12 daily flights to and from Copenhagen Airport – Northern Europe’s key air traffic junction. The air service is primarily operated by SAS and takes 35 minutes. In addition to this, BA / SUN AIR have flights to and from Stockholm, Oslo and Gothenburg, and Ryan Air operates an air service to and from London. Århus Airport also offers a taxi-plane service.
Billund Airport
Billund Airport is West Denmark’s International Airport, handling more than 2.5 million passengers in 2008. A wide range of scheduled airlines, including KLM, Lufthansa, British Airways, Cimber Sterling and Ryanair are serving more than 30 European routes.
Billund Airport has direct services to international hub airports such as Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Munich, Copenhagen and Brussels ensuring quick and easy one-stop connections to more than 500 destinations worldwide. Furthermore, the airport has twice daily operations to most European business centers.
From Billund Airport you can drive by car to Aarhus in less than 1 hour. Furthermore, the airport operates a coach shuttle service to the city center of Aarhus, which fits very well to most flight arrivals and departures. The shuttle service operates up to 13 times a day.
On occasion West Denmark hosts large international events. Up to such events, the airport assists the event hosts in providing appropriate welcome service to their guests at the airport. The host will be able to meet their guests at the aircraft door, and the airport will facilitate a well positioned ‘welcome center’ to the hosts.

With 65 airlines operating from Copenhagen Airport, and with more than 20 mil passengers every year, Copenhagen Airport is Scandinavia’s biggest.
