Overview
Sønderborg Airport, listed as EKSB / SGD, is a mid-sized airport in Sønderborg, Denmark. The airport sits 24 feet above sea level. Alongside scheduled airline service, the airport handles a steady flow of private and charter traffic.
No charter operator is headquartered on the field, but operators routinely position aircraft into SGD for departures. When weather or ramp space demands it, nearby options are Skrydstrup Air Base (SKS, 24 nm), Schleswig Air Base (WBG, 32 nm), and Kolding Vamdrup Airfield (EKVD, 32 nm). With a single 5,895-foot paved runway, SGD can typically accommodate aircraft as large as heavy jets.
Charter pricing from SGD depends on aircraft category, positioning distance, and trip timing. In directories and search listings it also appears under Sonderborg and Soenderborg. Compare rated operators or run a route through the cost estimator to gauge pricing from Sønderborg.
