Humberside Airport’s new flight to Esbjerg has launched with a fanfare from the industry it is set to serve and a warm Scandinavian welcome.
The inaugural Eastern Airways service between the two key offshore wind hubs in the UK and Denmark saw leading figures from the sector welcomed on board and a civic reception on touchdown. And the vitality of the North Sea they crossed, described as the largest green power station in Europe, was toasted.
Jesper Frost Rasmussen, Mayor of Esbjerg, made the comment in his address, as a clean future was embraced building on a strong history.
