If Copenhagen is too large and a smaller airport than Billund is of interest for Denmark, this would be the perfect option, allowing for larger E class aircraft contracts as well as a lot of options for local airlines. Plus the large military facility would make for a fun contrast to most ordinary airports.Plus views out onto the inland seas of North Western Denmark would make for a good location for in-game planespotting.
