has branded Danish government’s decision "short-sighted", given that Denmark has yet to fully reach its pre-COVID tourist traffic.

This comes as disappointing news for UK travellers wishing to visit the picturesque town, particularly because Ryanair was the only carrier offering direct flights from the UK to Aalborg. However, there are other airlines still servicing flights to Aalborg from the UK, but you will need to do a stop-over elsewhere before arriving.

As of now KLM will continue to operate flights from London Heathrow to Aalborg, with a connecting stop at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. The Dutch airline currently still offers round-trip flights to Aalborg from the following airports:

• Aberdeen (ABZ)

• Manchester (MAN)

• Birmingham (BHX)

• Glasgow (GLA)

• Belfast (BHD)

• Leeds Bradford (LBA)

• London City (LCY)

• Cardiff (CWL)

• Bristol (BRS)

• Newcastle (NCL)

• Edinburgh (EDI)

Be aware: the frequency of flights vary for each of these airports and all require a connecting stop in Amsterdam, Copenhagen or both.

As of now Norwegian Air will also continue operating flights to Aalborg or from Aalborg from a few different UK airports, including:

• Edinburgh (EDI)

• Manchester (MAN)

• Newcastle (NCL)

• London Gatwick (LGW)

Be aware: flights from some of these UK airports are only operational during certain seasons.

Finally, Scandinavian Airlines will continue to offer Aalborg flight routes to and from London Heathrow, with connecting flights through Copenhagen, Oslo or both.

Despite having limited departure options, Scandinavian Airlines flights from London are part of the airline’s low far calendar. This means travellers will be able to enjoy some of the airline's cheapest fares.
