Although the runway is large enough for the behemoth Boeing 747s, most of the people trafficked through the airport travel via ATR-47s, Boeing 737s, and Boeing 757s.
Now, the Billund Airport serves over 2 million passengers every year along with the millions of pounds of supply it transports. This left Terminal One able to process the cargo aspect of the airport with no intrusions to or by tourists coming to see the ever popular Legoland. Terminal Two was opened and assigned the task of taking care of all of the airports chartered passengers. This was becoming an issue that needed to be dealt with quickly. With so many chartered passengers coming in now, along with the airports constant flow of cargo flights, the airport was becoming very congested by the two very different services offered. As Billund grew in to an extremely popular tourist destination, Billund Airport required another terminal.
