Pilot Comments for EKRN
Elmar
Bornholm Rønne remains an exemplary, pragmatic airport for General Aviation.
For instrument approaches, a SUP is currently in effect until the end of 2028 due to cranes in the harbor. In practice—weather permitting—ATC will usually accommodate a visual approach without issue.
Aircraft are parked on a well‑maintained grass area. Exit without staff contact via the double wire‑mesh gates next to the blue hangar. Rental cars should, as previously noted, definitely be booked in advance.
Before departure, payment is made in the crew briefing room; afterwards, access to the aircraft is via the mesh gates with license, receipt, and ID card.
AVGAS 100LL is no longer available.
Fees: For 1.3 t MTOW and one night of parking, DKK 138 (about EUR 18).

Absolutely pragmatic procedures for an airport of this size (Spanish airport managers should come take a look). Pilots use the briefing room in the small terminal building to pay their (modest: 13 EUR for PA28) fees by self-service using a credit card terminal. When re-entering airside upon departure, you present your license and the payment receipt to a camera and the tower staff will let you in. Just be aware of insane AVGAS prices (ca. 6 EUR/liter last time I checked). Landside, it's most convenient to get a rental car upon prior reservation from one of the agents. Don't expect to walk up to the counter without a reservation, as they are often unmanned. Rental cars are on the expensive side, however in our cases so far wo get nice and tidy cars. There is a but network, but I don't usually find the timings frequent and convenient enough for day trips with some flexibility. If you just want to go go Ronne, both walking (about an hour) or a bus would be fine.

Great, tidy aerodrome, friendly people. Reasonable landing fee of €8.95 for a 182. Would gladly return!

Bornholm (EKRN) is a GA-friendly airport with straightforward procedures and well-maintained facilities. Both VFR and IFR operations are supported, with ILS and RNAV approaches to both runways. There are no STARs or SIDs; departures proceed direct to the first waypoint, but noise abatement restrictions apply—see the 10-9 plate for details. ATC is described as clear and helpful, though there is no radar vectoring.
GA parking is exclusively on a large, stable grass apron. Access to and from the apron is via a dedicated GA gate equipped with a camera; pilots must present their license, ID, and payment receipt for entry/exit. All ground handling is self-service: after arrival, proceed to the self-briefing room in the terminal, call the tower using the provided phone, receive an invoice printed locally, and pay by credit or debit card at the terminal. Example: landing fee about €10; combined landing and parking for 1–2 nights typically ranges from about €10 to €20.
Fuel (100LL/Avgas) is available but payment methods are restricted: some pumps require a Shell Air card only (no cash or credit/debit cards), while others accept cash (DKK or EUR) or Statoil card at Baltic Air Services. Fuel prices are consistently described as high. Jet-A1 is available from Bornholm Air Service.
Car rental agencies (Europcar, Avis) operate on site with good opening hours; advance booking is recommended due to limited availability at peak times. Buses depart directly from the terminal to Rønne and other island destinations; taxis can be ordered via a free phone in arrivals. Walking to Rønne takes about 45–60 minutes; cycling is possible, with bikes rentable on site or nearby.
Facilities include a self-briefing room with internet access (no free WiFi), an ATM in the terminal, and maintenance services available through local companies such as Baltic Air Services and bornholm.aero. No tie-downs are provided on the grass apron; pilots should bring their own securing equipment if strong winds are forecast.
Customs/immigration procedures are minimal for intra-Schengen flights but may be required for arrivals from outside Schengen—see AIP/NOTAM for details.
Bornholm offers relaxed operations, efficient self-service processes, and easy access to local transport options, making it well-suited for non-commercial GA flights.
