Now Copenhagen may join them, as the government there seeks effectively to renationalise it, which is a worrying trend in Europe Aarhus Airport, serving Denmark's second largest city and economic centre is scrambling around at present to find one or more investors having run at a deficit for several years now it has been the smaller regional airport - smaller than it should be for a region of 1.4 million people - struggling to reach over half a million annual passengers when the consensus is that a million is regarded as the financial break-even point There have been some minor route development breakthroughs of late, but Aarhus is still losing traffic to rival airports in a physically small country although expected to improve in the next two years This is not a good time for any loss-making airport to be seeking out external investment, and certainly not just as the government brings in an aviation tax. While it remains at a low level for the moment, it isn't critical, but it won't do Aarhus Airport much good either If an investor is to be found, the chances are that it might be one of the Danish pension funds.

Aarhus (oar-hus) has long laboured in the shadow of consummate capital Copenhagen, but transformation is afoot. Denmark's second-largest city is busy staking a claim for visitor attention, and building a reputation as an emerging European destination for savvy city-breakers, festival-goers, art and food fans, and those looking beyond the capital-city conga.

history surpassing the 500,000 mark and setting the stage for growth in the coming years “While we faced some stifling of passenger volume potential due to reduced capacity on major city pairs and connecting routes via our Nordic hubs we still delivered an impressive performance,” AAR’s senior director of route development and marketing “Norwegian launched its first three routes from Aarhus but fleet limitations impacted our existing airline partners.” we observed 60% year-on-year growth in traffic to and from Spain on top of record numbers—up to 75% year-on-year in peak summer in July and particularly noticeable to Mallorca and new destination we see a very strong forward trend on Spain again and booked load factors are already extremely high in relation to the same period last year.”

will commence flights from Antalya More News And Analysis From Routes Europe 2025 “Twice-weekly flights will bring sun-hungry Danes to the Turkish Riviera resorts while it will also suit our ethnic Turkish population in the Aarhus area,” Surley says “SAS has also expanded capacity on its Copenhagen and Oslo routes “Copenhagen will see the introduction of Airbus A320s on peak-time flights linking Aarhus with SAS’ continually expanding network of both short- and long-haul destinations This brings an increase in capacity of 150% on those rush-hour flights which will significantly help drive connecting traffic demand.” as the fifth-largest metropolitan area in the Nordic region “It is plain to see that we are very much in need of fast and frequent hub service to Paris there are many opportune sunshine destinations still to add to our network and both Spain and Greece have been booming Dubai and a North American hub would make absolute statistical Surley also emphasizes the opportunity for long-haul expansion “Greater Aarhus is the largest metro area in north-northern Europe without a direct scheduled service to such global hubs and long-haul markets and certainly the largest population base more than 3.5 hr drive-time from such direct flights,” he says “A demand base of 800,000 passengers for North America within just 100 km [62 mi.] of our airport.” One of the biggest catalysts for AAR’s rising profile was its successful hosting of Routes Europe in 2024 The event brought key airline decision-makers to the city showcasing Aarhus as both a growing aviation hub and a destination in its own right Reflecting on the impact of hosting the event Surley highlights the increased visibility it brought to Aarhus “Awareness was the biggest benefit—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have the industry’s most influential figures experience your destination firsthand,” he says “We are now eager to start ticking off some of those sizeable and

develop a new container terminal in Denmark’s largest commercial port It is seen as a challenge to Maersk on its home turf as well as in a port that the company has dominated through its terminal company APM Terminals Aarhus Havn (the port authority) has signed a land lease with TiL for 170,000 square meters (42 acres) at the new Omniterminal planned for the Port of Aarhus This comes just weeks after MSC published its new 2025 routes and included a mainliner route between Aarhus and Asia in its new independent service after the end of the 2M alliance with Maersk Maersk had been challenging MSC efforts to reach an agreement with the port including taking the port authority to court during the summer They contended according to the Danish newspaper Finans that they had an agreement with Aarhus Havn since 2020 for the expansion and management of the port’s terminals The newspaper said that APM Terminals had promised an investment of approximately $300 million but said it would be withdrawn from those plans if a second operator was brought into the port Aarhus has said that it plans to use open space within the port to develop a new terminal as part of its expansion plans It is currently the largest commercial port in Denmark and for 2023 it reported handling 73 percent of the total Danish container market Despite a decline in volume due to global circumstances in 2023 the port highlighted improved financial results Aarhus says total cargo volume increased by a quarter to over 10 million tons in 2023 With the addition of the Omniterminal and MSC Aarhus Havn highlights it will be the location for Denmark’s two largest container terminals The new facility will be developed in two stages with the port saying it is expected to be completed by 2027 MSC is working to develop its standalone approach to the market while also dramatically increasing container carry capacity The company is increasing onshore investments including in ports and terminals MSC also recently won approval from the German government for its plan to buy nearly half of the container terminal operator in the Port of Hamburg its container ship capacity has increased to over 6

largest container port in Denmark handling more than 70% of the country’s container traffic APM Terminals already operates a terminal at Aarhus capable of handling 20,000 teu ships and reports from

agreement to largely go it alone and Germany’s Hapag-Lloyd subsequently exiting THE Alliance to join the Danish carrier in what will be called the Gemini Cooperation MSC revealed to clients earlier this month the make-up of its standalone services that is significantly different to Maersk/Hapag’s when it comes to Danish coverage Aarhus will still see MSC calling the port directly from Asia while Maersk will no longer do so when the Gemini partnership comes into force “Port of Aarhus offers a good location for the future network plans we have made We will be introducing a direct mainliner between Asia and Aarhus next year we can provide our customers with a  practical  logistics solution,” MSC chief executive Toft said Toft added that MSC is also looking at other routes that could have a “positive impact on Danish business” in the longer term and that the company would consider further investment when new areas are developed at the port which will see Denmark’s two largest container terminals located in Aarhus “This provides businesses with more opportunities to trade with the world and reinforces our role in ensuring Danish supply to the benefit of businesses and Denmark.” Don't

Not only that, Aarhus was also proudly the 2017 European Capital of Culture So while Copenhagen takes the plaudits as that international beacon of Scandi sophistication Aarhus should be given a closer look as the good vibes here aren’t restricted to the locals From quirky Danish attractions like Den Gamble By living museum to magnificent food experiences there’s plenty to enjoy about this underrated city 185km (115 miles) northwest of the capital.  Northern European cities always make the most of their short summers and Aarhus is no different, with a variety of festivals taking place including the multi-discipline Aarhus Festival on the last Friday in August, June’s ultra cool Northside music festival and the more genteel flower festival in Tivoli Friheden The general lack of tourists makes summer a good time to visit too Crisp powder blue skies form pretty autumnal and winter scenes in Aarhus when the temperature drops with the sleek restaurants and cafes feeling all the cozier for it.  Two to three days is the most you’ll need to see Aarhus’s main attractions. However it’s worth planning ahead as places like Den Gamble By are large and family-oriented while you also may want to time attractions with nice rooftop viewing platforms to coincide with a pretty late afternoon/evening sunset.  then pairing Aarhus with Copenhagen for a two-city Denmark jaunt could be a good idea (it’s around a 3-hour train to the Danish capital).  Most visitors will arrive at Aarhus Airport which is unusually far from the center (around 40km/25 miles), for a city of this size. The 925x bus runs regularly and takes around 50 minutes to reach central Aarhus, with card payments on board or tickets available through the Midttrafik app.  Aarhus Central Station receives passengers from Copenhagen, as well as international connections with big German cities like Hamburg and Berlin.  Aarhus’s walkable compact center makes taking the bus and tram (Letbane) somewhat redundant but there are day passes available through Midttrafik which might be more useful in bad weather or with kids in tow.  ARoS is one of the largest art museums in Northern Europe with around one million visitors per year coming to see its impressive exhibitions and works (including Ron Mueck’s striking 16ft-high sculpture Boy) filling out its ten floors.  is the 150m-long rainbow rooftop panorama designed by Olafur Eliasson With spectacular 360-degree views of the city seen through the jaunty prism of a circular rainbow walkway that changes color as you move Perched on a nearby hill are the Aarhus Botanical Gardens founded in 1875 and now dominated by the shell-like shape of its tropical greenhouses Housing over 5000 species of tropical and subtropical plants from four different climate zones these gardens are a fine way to take a break from the hum of the city in a relaxing green space that also comes with a sweeping view of Den Gamble By from above The best way to see Aarhus’s impressive harbor redevelopment is to take a 1-hour trip onboard the historic M/S Helene with Aros Cruises With its low-lit interior and Twin Peaks-inspired decor, Erlings Jazz- & Ølbar is a seductive street-corner joint dripping with cool The regularly updated 14-strong beer board features IPAs and they host live jazz music every Saturday and some Wednesdays Aarhus has some serious foodie chops, with an impressive four Michelin-star restaurants to its name showcasing the best in Danish fine dining. But start your gastronomic journey at Aarhus Street Food a gregarious food court offering everything from Thai curry and American soul food to traditional Danish smørrebrød (open sandwiches) And for something more immersive, Food Walk host both 2-hour and 4-hour walks sampling local flavors and making new friends on a stroll around this compact city ARoS offers fine views across Aarhus, but the rainbow walkway’s surreal appeal tends to dominate the affair. For the best views head to the Salling roof garden hiding in plain sight above the city’s biggest shopping centre.  The multilayered rooftop is dotted with plants while music flows and cocktails are poured from the cafe-bar I’ve been to living museums before and always appreciate the effort put into bringing distant time periods back to life through authentic environments and passionate characters. But Den Gamle By ("The Old Town") does things a little differently.  If you want to see the quaint cottages and townhouses of Hans Cristian Andersen’s time then that’s all here, but it’s the rare focus on a more recent past that truly caught my attention.  Have a look around Paul’s Radio shop, a 1974 music and electronics store filled with classic vinyl, dusty cassettes and chunky antique color televisions (that are all available to purchase). Moving even further through time into living memory is the 2014 street, with its 7-Eleven, solarium and even a Blockbuster video store which really cranks up my millennial nostalgia.  And I’m not normally one to succumb to nostalgia either, but this is one of the most original attractions I've visited in recent years and brings the day to a fascinating close. Basic room for two: 800-900kr (US$110-125) Self-catering apartment (including Airbnb): 600-700kr (US$85-95) Beer/pint at the bar: 35/70kr (US$4.80/9.60) Due to the relative lack of tourists, you may get initially addressed in Danish but virtually everybody here speaks English to a high level (though practicing the local lingo is always welcome).  No, you’ll need Danish krone if you’re paying by cash, though paying through card or your phone is so pervasive that it won’t matter if you forget to bring the local currency. Containerships calling at the container terminal at the Port of Aarhus will soon be able to turn off their diesel generators and receive shore power The port has unveiled plans to open an onshore power facility for boxships which will be “the first of its kind” in Denmark The plant is expected to be completed in 2026 The future plant will be built in collaboration with local company PowerCon which was also behind the shore power plant project at the cruise terminal The shore power facility for cruise ships was opened in June 2023 “We are pleased that we can once again collaborate with PowerCon to establish a shore power facility It will reduce both noise and local particle pollution caused by ships using diesel generators This benefits both the residents of the surrounding area and the employees at the port,” Anne Zachariassen 2024 marked the first full year of operation for the shore power facility at the cruise terminal with 68% of the cruise ships docking there using shore power PowerCon will deliver the transformer station and power management system for the new facility while ShibataFenderTeam and Igus will supply a flexible cable system that can be moved around the quay to meet the ships’ needs This setup will enable the facility to supply power to up to four containerships simultaneously when fully completed “The shore power facility at the container terminal is one of the most advanced projects in Europe We are proud that PowerCon’s technology and expertise contribute to a vision that sets new standards for green port operations,” Jacob Bjarkam and Stockholm will all offer shore power for containerships by 2030 as part of the “OPS Network” project The project is supported by the EU fund “Connecting Europe Facilities” with a grant of 18.8 million euros “We are very pleased that the European Commission and the CEF Committee recognize our high ambitions for the green transition As some of Northern Europe’s most important ports it is fantastic that we can collaborate to reduce the shipping industry’s climate footprint—this is a global challenge we stand together to tackle Shore power for container ships is a crucial part of this effort for

Aarhus Airport when Pegasus opens a new direct scheduled service to Antalya which is the gateway to several popular resorts on the Turkish Riviera in southern Türkiye and an attractive hub for travelers to and from a number of central Asian and Near Eastern destinations It is the first time that Pegasus makes its entrance in the Greater Aarhus area with the airline thereby gaining access to mainland Denmark’s largest market for potential travelers the region is a very attractive market for Pegasus Not only to enjoy the rich pool of holiday travel demand for many thousands of sun-seekers who visit Mediterranean Türkiye each year but also to serve the large share of people with a Turkish background who live in mainland Denmark and especially in the Aarhus area With over 67,000 people of Turkish descent living in Denmark and over 11,000 within reach of Aarhus Airport there is a large market for visiting friends and family "It is a great pleasure to present a new airline at Aarhus Airport The new collaboration comes very soon after hosting the prestigious Routes Europe conference in April 2024 where we could showcase the enormous appeal of Aarhus as a destination and strengthen our close dialogue with Pegasus and other airlines one of the eastern Mediterranean’s largest markets has long been a desire of both holidaymakers and people with Turkish roots who know Pegasus for their great value service and low fare appeal We naturally expect the route to be extremely well received in our region" Insight shows that currently a very large share of Aarhus area passengers traveling to Türkiye today choose to fly from airports at Copenhagen or Hamburg.  Focusing on the topic of convenience and customer choice Lotta Sandsgaard commented from her own personal appreciation for Pegasus Airlines’ highly customer-friendly “I have regularly used Pegasus to fly within Türkiye they are an excellent airline with state-of-the-art aircraft they are a very welcome addition at Aarhus Airport Our data clearly shows that there is a great deal of unrealized potential in Aarhus towards Türkiye and demand for destinations beyond Customers naturally crave convenience and everyone wants a shorter journey time to the airport It will be highly appealing that customers can exchange tedious queues and time on the E45 with a very short drive to Aarhus Airport when currently the vast majority have to reach Copenhagen and Hamburg we are proud they have chosen to serve Aarhus and I believe this will be a long and exciting co-operation where we have mutual long-term partnership and growth front-of-mind” The route to Antalya takes-off on 9th May 2025.  There are departures from Aarhus Airport every Monday and Friday the OSCE Programme Office in Dushanbe (POiD) facilitated a

World Championships went head to head with three completed races on the first day of competition on Aarhus Bay Today’s first start was planned for 11.00am however it was pushed back a few hours as the morning’s weather forecast threatened thunderstorms and extremely unstable winds At 1:00 p.m Race Management was able to declare the race conditions satisfactory and the 258 participating boats launched eager to hit the startline the three courses were laid a good distance from the coast to catch the relatively light wind which however increased positively throughout the day All three race courses succeeded in completing the three scheduled races of the day which are underway simultaneously during the qualification days After today’s three races the Polish boat POL 3237 with the mixed crew of Ewa Lewandowska and Krysztof Krolik is at the front in both the field of mixed crews and overall which is not a big surprise as they have won everything they have entered in the recent months The Poles were hotly pursued and actually shared first position after two races with the Italian men’s crew ITA 3 of Alex Demurtas and Giovanni Santi who won men’s silver at the 2023 World Championships But when they had to retire during the third race they end the day sitting in overall 2nd place while they still lead the field of male crews just ahead of Australians Lucas Patrick

mixed category and fourth overall Third mixed team is Giulia Bartolozzi and Pietro Rizzi from Italy in 13th overall Anything can still happen With two more days of qualification competition before the final series begins sailors are fighting to get into Gold fleet and in reaching distance of the podium With the conditions so challenging and shifty anything can still happen and the many sailors can look forward to good conditions in the coming days with both sun and wind which seem to be coming from slightly changing directions so Aarhus Bugten is likely to to live up to his reputation as
