Location
Karup, Denmark
Midtjyllands Airport, designated by IATA code KRP and ICAO code EKKA, is located near Karup in the Viborg municipality of central Jutland, Denmark. It serves as both a civilian regional airport and an active Danish Air Force base, making it one of the few dual-use facilities of its kind in Scandinavia.
