We arrived at Odense VFR “self-service” in the evening after aerodrome closure, so we called ahead to coordinate parking and leaving the premises. No problem at all: after landing, enter your details on a list located in the white hut by the fuel station. You can leave the premises at any time via a turnstile; however, you can only get back in once the field opens again. Pilot-controlled lighting was also offered to us. How wonderfully uncomplicated flying in Denmark always is!

Refueling, however, is considerably more complicated if you don’t have a BP card. It took two airfield staff to get the pump running. No credit card surcharge was charged.

Fees: landing and 24 hours parking approx. EUR 26 (<1.2 t).

Odense (EKOD) is a friendly and efficient regional airport on Fyn, offering both VFR and IFR operations with AFIS. ILS is available for runway 24, and LNAV approaches for 06 and 24. There are no published arrival or departure procedures, but NOTAMs may announce closures or restrictions due to drone or military parachute operations; a phone call can clarify status and sometimes enable access when NOTAMs are active. Self-service VFR arrivals outside opening hours are possible with prior arrangement, including entry/exit procedures via a list at the fuel hut and access through a turnstile.

Avgas is available from a self-service pump that accepts credit cards and AirBP; Jet A1 is also available, sometimes requiring staff assistance. Fueling help is readily provided if needed. There is no on-field restaurant, but complimentary coffee is often offered by staff. Facilities include bathrooms and efficient handling for brief stops.

Landing and parking fees are generally low. Example: landing about €20; combined landing and overnight parking about €40; another example: landing fee about €20, parking per night about €20.
