Læsø Airfield (Læsø Airport, BYR)
Compact island airfield in the heart of Læsø, where short hops, big skies and salty island air turn arrival and departure into part of the holiday.
Læsø Airfield is a small island airport in the heart of Læsø, serving as the main aerial gateway to this tranquil corner of the Kattegat. With a single asphalt runway set amid flat heath and fields near the village of Byrum, it combines essential connectivity with a distinctly laid-back, local feel. Arrivals step straight into wide skies, salty air and an island pace that contrasts sharply with the bustle of mainland Denmark, making the airport itself a memorable part of any Læsø journey.

Local tips
- Plan extra time around your flight to enjoy the quiet surroundings and watch aircraft movements from a safe distance near the terminal area.
- Book flights well in advance in peak summer, as small aircraft and limited schedules can sell out quickly during school holidays.
- If you intend to explore the island widely, arrange car or bike hire ahead of arrival to ensure availability when your flight lands.
- Check seasonal flight timetables carefully, as frequency may be reduced in winter and around public holidays.
- Keep an eye on local weather forecasts; sea fog, strong winds or low cloud can occasionally cause delays for small aircraft.

Getting There
-
Domestic flight from Roskilde
Regular scheduled flights operate between Roskilde Airport on Zealand and Læsø Airfield, typically taking around 40–50 minutes in small commuter aircraft. Fares vary with season and demand but commonly range from about 700–1300 DKK one way. Services run year-round, with more departures in summer and fewer in winter. As planes are small, advance booking is important, and weather conditions such as strong winds or sea fog can occasionally cause delays or schedule changes.
-
Private or charter aircraft
Læsø Airfield welcomes general aviation and charter flights from other Danish or nearby Scandinavian airfields. Flight times from many Jutland or Zealand aerodromes are often within 30–60 minutes depending on departure point and aircraft type. Landing and handling fees apply and should be checked in advance with the operator or local authorities. Pilots must observe local procedures and be prepared for coastal weather, including crosswinds and rapidly changing visibility, especially outside the summer season.
-
Combined ferry and local transfer
Travellers already on Læsø who wish to reach the airfield from the ferry harbour area can do so by local taxi or pre-arranged transport, with typical travel times of 10–20 minutes depending on the exact starting point. Prices are usually in the range of 120–250 DKK per car each way, depending on distance and time of day. Services may be less frequent during late evenings or in winter, so arranging pickup in advance is advisable, particularly when connecting with early or late flights.

An island gateway in the middle of the Kattegat
Læsø Airfield, also known as Læsø Airport, sits almost exactly in the centre of the island, surrounded by heathland, low pines and open fields. Approaching by air, you see Læsø appear as a flat green-brown patch in the blue of the Kattegat, with the runway cutting a neat line across the landscape. This is not a sprawling terminal complex, but a compact island airstrip that feels immediately local and human in scale. The airfield primarily connects Læsø with Roskilde and other Danish destinations, making it an important lifeline for residents and a time-saving shortcut for visitors. Instead of hours of road and ferry travel, the island suddenly feels close, as if the mainland were just a short hop away. For many travellers, the experience of arriving here is their first real sense that they have left everyday routines behind.Runway, rhythm and the character of a small airport
Læsø Airfield has a single asphalt runway of just under one kilometre, long enough for small commuter aircraft and private planes yet short enough to keep operations low-key. There are no thundering wide-body jets; instead, you might watch a handful of light aircraft arrive and depart across a whole afternoon. The modest scale makes movements easy to follow and understand, which can be fascinating for anyone with even a passing interest in aviation. Around the runway, simple facilities support the essentials of flying rather than elaborate retail. There is space to wait, meet arriving passengers and take in the sight of propellers spooling up against a backdrop of open sky. The soundscape is mostly wind, birds and distant surf from Læsø’s shores, punctuated by the short-lived growl of engines for take-off and landing.First impressions of Læsø right outside the door
Step outside the small terminal area and you are immediately in Læsø’s countryside. The air carries a hint of salt and heather, and on clear days the light feels almost coastal-white, bouncing off sandy soil and low vegetation. Unlike larger airports that buffer you from surroundings, this airfield places you in the landscape within moments of landing. The nearby village of Byrum holds the island’s administrative heart and everyday services, while beaches, saltworks and pine forests are spread across short driving or cycling distances. The airfield’s central position makes it a practical starting point for exploring all corners of the island, from windswept northern shores to the calmer southern coastline.Practical hub for holidaymakers and locals
For residents, the airport is a practical link for business, medical appointments and visiting the mainland. For visitors, it is often the beginning of a weekend escape or a longer summer stay. Timetabled flights with small aircraft create a rhythm of comings and goings, sometimes busier in high season and quieter through the darker months, yet the ambience rarely feels hectic. The airfield layout is uncomplicated and easy to navigate, an advantage for travellers unfamiliar with flying from small regional airports. Meeting friends or family is straightforward: there are no long corridors or confusing levels, just a short walk from aircraft to pickup point. This simplicity reinforces the sense that Læsø Airfield is part of island life rather than a separate transport machine.A pleasant stop for aviation enthusiasts
Beyond its purely practical role, Læsø Airfield can be quietly rewarding for aviation enthusiasts. Pilots appreciate a civil, general-aviation-friendly field, while plane spotters can observe operations at close range without the barriers typical of larger airports. The flat surroundings provide clear views of the circuit, and changing weather over the Kattegat keeps the sky interesting. Even if you only pass through once, the combination of small-airport charm, open Nordic light and the swift transition from cabin door to island track makes Læsø Airfield more than a mere waypoint. It becomes part of the story of arriving on, and eventually leaving, this distinctive Danish island.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
