Frankfurt Sunday Experience - Vol. 5Dear Pilots,
the Frankfurt FIR as a member of VACC SAG and the Scandinavian VACC invite you to our "Frankfurt Sunday Experience" shuttle event. We will offer you alternating destinations to mostly unpopular but interesting airports. Furthermore you can expect challenging approaches and professional ATC. Our partners will be within a range of maximum two hours around Frankfurt.
On Sunday 07th of December, Billund EKBI/BLL is our shuttle partner from 1900z until 2130z.Billund Airport is a facility which serves as one of Denmark's busiest air cargo centres, as well as a charter airline destination, although some regular airlines also offer flights there.
The proximity of the airport to the Legoland theme park in Billund arguably makes it easier for the airport to attract passengers, and to lure more airlines into operating to the airport.
The airport handles an average of almost two million passengers a year, and millions of pounds of cargo. The airport's main runway can handle airliners as large as the aforementioned Boeing 747, although most passengers arrive on smaller airplanes, such as ATR-42's, Boeing 737's and Boeing 757's. Boeing 747 activity at this airport is almost exclusively limited to cargo flights.

See you on Sunday.
Your Billund and Frankfurt ATC Team
