EKBI - Billund Airport Available stands Overview Billund Airport is the second largest in Denmark. The airport was originally built in 1964 by LEGO. The airport was back then built to accommodate visitors to the nearby Legoland. The airport has since been taken over by nearby communes and a private company and then expanded to the size we know today. In 2023 the airport had moved nearly 4.000.000 passengers. ALWAYS remember, if you are unsure or in doubt then ask. We will always do our best to help you out! Use of stands In Billund, there are 3 main aprons. The northern one at the terminal building accommodates all passenger planes. The stands 25 - 26 & 38 - 40 are flex stands, meaning they can accommodate both Schengen and NON-Schengen. Stand 27 - 37 is Schengen only. Stand 65 - 94 is used for longer-term parking. Southern Apron; Stand 2 - 7 is Cargo Stand 1 is VIP The G area is used for General Aviation The De-Ice pad (J) may be used for Heavy and Super AIRPORT MAP IFR clearance Initial contact is with Tower, reporting callsign, stand number, and latest ATIS identification letter. Remember to read/listen to the entire ATIS as there might be some specific info related to you! Requesting De-Icing If you require de-ice before your departure, request it with your departure clearance request. Push-back All stand at the terminal and Cargo stands require pushback. The Mid-Apron (Stand 65 - 94) is taxi-out based on A/C type. (Some heavy might require pushback) IRL pushback is at the pilot's discretion, However on Vatsim, it is up to the individual controller to simulate this or not. Taxi When landing RWY 09 pilots are encouraged to continue taxiing via K to hold short at N For departures, F intersection may be used upon request. Intersection M may always be used at the Pilot's discretion. Backtracking via A is NOT allowed for Mediums+, if you require full length, advise the controller and you will receive a taxi via B, F & D. Runways In Billund, there is only 1 runway. Both ends have ILS CATII/III. This is the normal procedure. During direct crosswind situations i.e. winds 180 or 360, 09 may be used for departure and 27 for landing, to ensure shorter taxi times. RWY OVERVIEW SIDs Depending on destination and routing each SID can be chosen at the pilot's discretion. However. EKCH, EKRK and EKRN Departures must use the ABINO.
