Taxis are readily available outside the terminal building, typically meeting scheduled flights. The ride to Roskilde city center takes approximately 10 minutes, and the journey to central Copenhagen is about 40-50 minutes. Services can be hailed on-site or pre-booked with local companies.
Several major car rental agencies, including Avis, Europcar, Hertz, and Sixt, operate service desks inside the airport terminal. It is advisable to book a vehicle in advance online to ensure availability and secure better pricing, especially during peak seasons.
The airport is connected to Roskilde Station by public bus. Bus line 212 runs between the airport and the station, with a travel time of about 15-20 minutes. From Roskilde Station, there are frequent and direct train connections to Copenhagen Central Station (approx. 25-30 minutes) and other parts of Denmark.
Roskilde Airport is located 4 nautical miles southeast of Roskilde near the town Tune. It was opened in 1973 as the first of three planned relief airports around Copenhagen. These plans were shelved shortly after, and the two other relief airports never made it past the planning stage. The airport is owned and operated by Københavns Lufthavne A/S which also operates Copenhagen's major airport at Kastrup. The airport had 25,053 passengers in 2003. The airport is fully equipped, but most flights from this airport are taxi-flights, small-plane regular flights to minor domestic islands or business jets.
It was once discussed to move all charter flights from Copenhagen Airport to this airport, but then the European aviation market changed as national airliners were allowed to be challenged by privately owned ones. The former charter airline companies in Europe then more or less had to either become regular challengers or vanish from the market. Hence, no flights with large aircraft have been moved to the airport. The runway is too short for fully loaded jet airliners such as the Boeing 737.
