Hans Christian Andersen Airport (Danish: Odense Lufthavn, also often referred to as Beldringe Lufthavn) (IATA: ODE, ICAO: EKOD) is a small airport serving the Danish city of Odense.
The airport is named after Hans Christian Andersen, a renowned Danish author who was born in Odense.
Passenger numbers from the airport fell significantly after the Great Belt Fixed Link was opened in 1998, and today there are no longer any commercial flights between Odense and Copenhagen.
The arrangement was later terminated with politicians citing the low number of flights from the facility, and operations were resumed by the county and municipalities.
