It is home to Flyvestation Karup, a Royal Danish Air Force base, while also serving civilian charter, business and occasional scheduled traffic for the Herning–Viborg–Holstebro region. The airport is compact, with a shared runway system and a terminal that handles passengers alongside military operations.
💡 Local Tip
A frequent visitor tip: the terminal is compact and can be very quiet outside charter or military movements, so check the day's flight schedule before arriving; food and seating options may be limited, and photography of the military side is restricted.
🚖 Getting There
By road, KRP is reached via the Midtjyske Motorvej/Route 18 corridor and is signposted from Karup; Herning is about 20–25 km south and Viborg about 25–30 km east. Public transport is limited, with no direct train to the terminal, so plan on a taxi or pre-arranged transfer from Karup Station or Herning/Viborg. Because the airport is also a military base, allow extra time for security checks and follow all posted restrictions.
