The importance of being able to move people quickly and efficiently in the industry was stressed by key players invited on the inaugural flight linking Humberside and Esbjerg.
Major inward investor Siemens Gamesa is the largest single operator in the sector, with Hull plant director Andy Sykes on board. The company not only produces blades in Hull, but has wider turbine production in Esbjerg, with teams dedicated to installing and overseeing warranty periods for the equipment well into the operational phase of the wind farms that the wider business builds, alongside the likes of Orsted.
Mr Sykes said: “The launch of this route affords additional flexibility for the region. We are currently exporting blades to Denmark, manufacturing them in Hull, and the service helps with the knowledge transfer between the two locations.
