AAL Aalborg

How deep the AAL board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from AAL. This reads the same 21 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound, what the clock here does to a Gulf working day and which of the destinations shut at night, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 18of the 21 destinations are flown by one airline
• 18destinations run less than once a day
• 2destinations have four or more departures a day
• 28.6%of the destinations name Norwegian Air Shuttle, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at AAL

Twelve airlines appear on the AAL board and they do not hold it evenly. Norwegian Air Shuttle is on 6 of the 21 destinations, 28.6 per cent of them, and on 5 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 17.6 of the 25.4 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is CAT on 4 destinations. 7 of the 12 airlines at AAL appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

That is a middling concentration at AAL: one airline on 28.6 per cent of the destinations and the other 71.4 per cent spread across 11 airlines. A cancellation inside the Norwegian Air Shuttle network is often survivable inside the same booking, but on the 15 destinations Norwegian Air Shuttle does not touch, a rebooking means moving to a carrier the desk has to check for a through fare first.

How much of the AAL board is daily

Of the 21 destinations, 3 are flown at least once a day and 18 are not, 9 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the AAL board is flown 2 times a week.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: AAL to Verona (VRN) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 21.9 of the 25.4 departures a day, 86 per cent of the whole board. On that arithmetic AAL is five sectors and a short tail, so the depth on the board above is thinner than the destination count suggests and a hand carry that is not going to one of those five is planned around a single departure time.

The ten destinations out of AAL where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable. 6 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from AAL

The desk holds the return direction for 12 of the 21 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On none of those 12 does the return run more than a quarter thinner than the outbound, so a turnaround through AAL is a question of hours rather than of whether an aircraft exists.

It runs the other way as well: Palma De Mallorca (PMI) files 0.71 a day back into AAL against 0.29 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at AAL

AAL keeps Europe/Copenhagen time, two hours behind Dubai in summer and three hours behind in winter, because the clock here moves and the Gulf clock does not.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 07:00 at AAL, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for seven hours. That is wide enough to settle a customs question at AAL and still make a departure the same day.

The night at AAL

2 of the destinations from here carry a documented night restriction of their own, which is a departure time question at this end rather than an arrival problem at the other.

Into Amsterdam (AMS) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from AAL that lands inside it leaves around 21:35, on a modelled block of 1h 25m. Into London (LGW) the door shuts at 23:30 local, so the last departure from AAL that lands inside it leaves around 22:49, on a modelled block of 1h 41m. Those two departure times out of AAL are worked backwards from the published window with the block time model this site uses everywhere, 720 to 880 km an hour by sector length with thirty minutes on the ground, so they are arithmetic rather than a timetable and the desk checks the published departure before it promises the landing.

Where AAL turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the Denmark country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.

Nine courier postings name AAL as the airport a courier here flies from: Aarhus, Aalborg and Randers.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with AAL already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 21 destinations above.
