Overview
Thisted Airport previously serviced two daily flights between Thisted and the Danish capital, Copenhagen, a service operated by flying.dk which also served as operator of the airport. Flying.dk suspended all flights from the airport effective 1 February 2007. Thisted municipality has supported operations of the airport with an annual 2.5 million DKK. No new operator has been found, and public funding would be needed to operate flights. The nearest airport from Thisted is Aalborg Airport, 86 kilometres (53 mi) road distance.
