Civil Airfield Aero (EKAE)

Aerø (EKAE) offers a relaxed, welcoming environment well-suited for general aviation. The grass runway is generally serviceable but can be uneven or bumpy in places; surface quality is described as acceptable, though not ideal for all aircraft. Blind calls are used when the radio is unstaffed. The airfield functions as an Airport of Entry, with customs procedures and ID checks for international arrivals; landing at Aerø is required for certain cross-border flights as per AIP, and procedures may vary—see AIP/NOTAM.

Fahrrad (bicycle) rental is widely available on-site, with newer bikes recently introduced; typical rates are about 100 DKK or €10–€15 per day. Car rental is also available, with an example rate of about €70 per day. Facilities include 24/7 access to toilets and warm showers, and camping with tents on the field is permitted. Fuel is available at a self-service pump (payment method not specified). Restaurants and shops are located in nearby towns; Ærøskøbing (about 6 km or 15–30 minutes by bike) is especially recommended for its historic center and dining options, while Marstal is closer (about 4 km or 15–20 minutes by bike).

Landing fees are moderate, with a typical example of about €15; international arrivals incur a small surcharge (about 10 DKK). Payment may be made via drop-box if staff are absent. Staff are generally described as helpful and approachable.

The airfield provides a tranquil base for exploring the island by bike or car. Procedures vary; see AIP/NOTAM.
