Sønderborg Airport (SGD) is a small regional airport on the island of Als in southern Denmark, about 7 km north of Sønderborg city center and close to the German border.

Its location makes it a convenient gateway for the Sønderborg area and the wider Danish-German border region.
💡 Local Tip
Because the airport is only about 30–35 km from the German border, it is often used by travelers from Flensburg; if you rent a car here, confirm that cross-border travel into Germany is allowed before you drive south.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is about 7 km north of central Sønderborg, a 10–15 minute drive via the main road north of the city. Taxis and pre-booked transfers are the most reliable options, as local bus service is limited and may not align with flight times. Rental cars are available at the terminal, and parking is close and easy if you are driving yourself.
