Bornholm Island X is a detailed scenery of
Bornholm Island (with EKRN airport) in Denmark.
Come and visit Bornholm, the beautiful island
located in the Baltic Sea 37 km south of Sweden
and the north of Poland. In Old Norse, the
island was known as Borgundarholm, and in
ancient Danish especially the island's name was
Borghand or Borghund; these names were related
to Old Norse borg "height" and bjarg/berg
"mountain, rock", as it is an island that rises
high from the sea. The island is roughly 588
square kilometres and has 158 km of coastline.
Its highest elevation is 162 m (531 ft) and it
had a population of 41802 in 2010. `The Pearl of
the Baltic' has sandy beaches on the south of
the island which are renowned for their
Mediterranean light and feel. Its forests impart
a more rugged feel than found elsewhere in
densely-populated Denmark. Though practically
unknown to Americans, this island of light is a
favourite vacation spot for Scandinavians,
Germans, and Poles. Its position in the middle
of the Baltic (it is closer to Sweden, Poland
and Germany than to rest of Denmark) gives both
a secluded, yet international feel. Bornholm is
widely known for its smoked herring,
high-quality arts and crafts and its beautiful
nature.
Bornholm Airport (Danish: Bornholms
Lufthavn) (IATA: RNN, ICAO: EKRN) is a Danish
airport located 2.7 nautical miles (5 km)
southeast of Rønne. The airport is operated by
Statens Luftfartsvæsen (The Danish Civil
Aviation Administration) with the air traffic
control provided by Naviair. The first flight
from Bornholm took place on June 1st 1912 from
the location "Galløkken" near Rønne. A certain
Mr Severinsen had on the initiative from the
athletic association "Viking" taken a ship to
Bornholm bringing with him his mono-plane. A
large number of spectators witnessed Mr
Severinsen flying at treetop height for a minute
or so. In 1940 the inauguration of "The Air
Field of Bornholm, Inc." was celebrated, and the
DDL instantly commenced scheduled flights daily
from and to Copenhagen. In the year 1940, the
number of passengers amounted to 887. Only one
year later the number of pax appeared to be
increasing to 13.397. The landing area was a
pear-shaped grass runway ranging to a maximum
length of 700 meters in the direction NW-SE, and
a minimum length of 550 meters available in the
direction NE-SW. The runway has been further
extended in 1944 (1100m), 1956 (1600x45) and
finally became a 2000m-long runway. The ILS
system was established for runway 29 in 1969 and
runway 11 in 1983. In 1982, the operations were
taken over by Maersk Air, later a part of
Sterling Airlines. Heavy losses of the former
forced it to abandon the route in 2002, which
was then taken over by Cimber Air. In 2005
Danish Air Transport became the second carrier
at Bornholm Airport, increasing competition on
the route. However, the airline decided to
abandon the Copenhagen route just three years
later, on 13 July 2008. Currently, the EKRN
airport is used by Air Berlin, Bulgarian Air
Charter, Cimber Sterling, SunExpress, Thomas
Cook Scandinavia and Widerøe. In 2010 the number
of passengers reached 251,552.
