Civil operator: Aarhus Lufthavn A/S. Official site: aar.dk. Danish AIP AD 2 EKAH (AIRAC 10/25) lists ARP 56°18′00.06″N 010°37′08.43″E, elevation 82 ft, and address Ny Lufthavnsvej 24, DK-8560 Kolind (TEL +45 87 75 70 00 / Airport Office +45 87 75 70 50). Do not confuse with Aalborg (AAL), Billund (BLL), or Copenhagen (CPH). - >- Official December 2025 traffic bulletin: calendar-2025 total **525,707** passengers vs **510,788** in 2024 (**+2.92%**). The 2025 accounts press note rounds the same year as “over 525,000” / about +3.4% and highlights sharper EBITDA after terminal, hotel and parking investment; year-end 2025 dual-use runway-asset arrangements with Forsvaret boosted liquidity, while scheduled civil passenger ops continue at the public terminal. Passenger-numbers charts still list full-year 2023 at 544,229; treat live airline schedules as authoritative for who actually flies. - >- Single modernised passenger terminal (major expansion roughly doubled floor area; Nordic HAY-furnished airside “Sky Lounge” departure hall is a public hold, not a Priority Pass club). Two parallel strips per AIP EKAH (data effective Oct 2025 charts referenced): 10R/28L 2,704 × 45 m asphalt/concrete (precision approaches; CAT II lighting published on 28L) and 10L/28R 2,781 × 23 m. AD hours published Daily 0500–2100 (0400–2000) with PPR outside for non-scheduled traffic. - >- No rail at the airport. Primary public link is Midttrafik airport bus 925X Aarhus C ↔ AAR, timed to scheduled and charter flights (~45–50 minutes from Aarhus H per airport copy). Midttrafik airport-bus tariff table: adult single 128 DKK, child 64 DKK, pensioner 128 DKK (Rejsekort = 7 zones + 52 / 26 DKK surcharge). Pay via Midttrafik/Rejsebillet app (“Aarhus Airport” special ticket), chip cards, cash (DKK plus selected foreign notes), or Rejsekort (check out at the airport). Flexbus 312 + route 212 cover Randers / Ebeltoft legs — book flex trips ≥1 hour ahead. - >- No Priority Pass / LoungeKey / DragonPass lounge is listed for AAR on Priority Pass’s Denmark directory (Aalborg, Billund and Copenhagen appear; Aarhus does not). Ignore third-party “Executive Lounge” scrapers. Airside comfort is the open Sky Lounge seating plus Ingerslevs restaurant and the tax-free / kiosk zone after security. On-site Aarhus Airport Hotel (37 Nordic rooms, landside with direct check-in access) publishes from 895 DKK single / 995 DKK double; SMS self check-in from 15:00; hotel@aar.dk. - >- Parking (airport parking page): digital ANPR on P1 (closest) and P2; first 5 hours free for pick-up/drop-off on both lots. P1 from 150 DKK per started 24 h (then stepped multi-day rates; +40 DKK/day after day 12); P2 from 100 DKK per started 24 h (+25 DKK/day after day 12). No reservation. EV: 20×22 kW OK + 8× E.ON on P1, plus 4×300 kW chargers at the filling station on the airport approach. Pay online within 48 hours of exit or via EasyPark / similar. bentoTips: - label: Timing title: 'Far from town — the bus waits for the plane, you should not cut it fine' detail: >- The terminal itself is compact, so absolute walks are short. The schedule risk is the 45–50 minute 925X ride from Aarhus H plus Midttrafik’s flight-tied timetable: if your outbound is early or charter banks stack, build city-side buffer rather than relying on a last bus. Security and bag-drop still spike before SAS Copenhagen banks and summer Ryanair / charter waves. Dual published strips help operations, but winter weather on Djursland remains the usual delay driver. summary: >- Short terminal, long city transfer — pad the 925X and peak bag-drop, not the walk to the gate. category: timing - label: Terminal title: 'One hall — Sky Lounge is public seating, not a members’ club' detail: >- Landside: check-in / bag drop, Aarhus Airport Hotel access, and arrivals. After security you enter tax-free / kiosk, then the HAY-furnished Sky Lounge departure level with runway views and Ingerslevs. Re-check FIDS for Schengen vs non-Schengen holds and any bus-gate calls. Smoking is only in the marked airside smoking room by the wine section of the shop (airport tax-free FAQ) — not at open gates. summary: >- Single terminal: security → tax-free → public Sky Lounge / Ingerslevs → gates; no Priority Pass lounge to chase. category: terminal - label: Food title: Ingerslevs upstairs — or tax-free snacks if you are racing a turn detail: >- Ingerslevs (airport restaurant page) serves Danish smørrebrød, pizza sandwiches, breakfast items and local East Jutland produce with runway views from the upper level. Tax-free / kiosk covers sweets, drinks and a quick coffee. Landside options are thin (hotel breakfast via room service windows if you overnight). Not a capital food court — eat in Aarhus if you have hours before the 925X. summary: >- Ingerslevs is the real plate; kiosk/tax-free covers coffee and sweets on a tight turn. category: food - label: Status title: 925X at 128 DKK adult — or pay for a taxi after the last bus pattern detail: >- Midttrafik’s published airport-bus single is 128 DKK adult / 64 DKK child (pensioner 128 DKK). The bus is timed to flights and waits for delayed arrivals per airport copy — still verify the live “to and from” board for cancellations. Taxis rank outside arrivals (Aarhus Taxa / Dantaxi and local firms listed by the airport); third-party transfer quotes often land around the mid-hundreds of DKK to Aarhus C for ~30–40 minutes — get a live app max price rather than trusting stale blogs. Self-drive: P2 is the value lot; P1 buys proximity. summary: >- Default is 925X (128 DKK adult, ~45–50 min); taxi when bags, kids, or the bus pattern has gone home. category: status lounges: [] waterOptions: - kind: free name: Restroom taps (Danish potable tap water) zone: airside summary: >- Denmark’s tap water is potable. After security, refill an empty bottle at washroom sinks in the departure / Sky Lounge area; ask staff if you need the nearest facility.
