What other pilots say about EKVO
I can only agree with the previous reports—the facilities on the island are at a 5-star level, but the atmosphere is not jet-set glitz; it’s characterized by a friendly, very laid-back vibe. We spent 2 nights in the hotel and used the rest of the time to enjoy the island and the excellent food. The runway was more than sufficient for our AA5B, and the bicycles were already waiting for us after landing. The drainage for the planned runway reorientation appears to be progressing well. Even after rain all night, the runway and parking areas were dry and firm in the morning.
The only downside is the pricing which, as mentioned, is quite steep—so the 50 EUR landing fee is barely worth mentioning. You have to view the value for money in relation to the significant investments and the island’s remoteness.
Vejrø airfield operates without a radio frequency; pilots observe traffic and land visually. The grass runway is well maintained, firm, and approximately 630 meters long, with no obstacles. Crosswinds can be significant but approaches are straightforward. Payment of the landing fee is typically via QR code at a hut by the runway or at the marina restaurant. The landing fee is about €50–€50 or 350–360 DKK; if over 350 DKK is spent at the on-island restaurant, the landing fee is waived.
Facilities include bicycles available for use after landing, a marina, hotel accommodation, and high-quality restaurants such as Skipperly. The walk from the airfield to the main restaurant takes 30–40 minutes through scenic island paths. The island offers opportunities for swimming, walking on sandy beaches, and observing wildlife including deer and cattle. Camping is permitted near the marina with access to basic sanitary facilities.
The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with well-kept grounds and helpful staff. Infrastructure such as fire pits and grills are available for picnics. Services may be seasonal; some facilities might not operate outside peak periods. Procedures vary; see AIP/NOTAM.
