Alsie Express every year does a few long weekend (3 or 4 days) one-off trips on an ATR 72 to various places from Sønderborg. It's a somewhat remote region of Denmark that is poorly linked to places outside Denmark. These long weekend trips tend to be quite imaginative - eg flying to Dijon and being taken round various Burgundy vineyards by the guy who owns the main wine shop in Sønderborg. Alsie Express' most recent long weekend to the UK was in November 2019 to Liverpool on the weekend that Liverpool hosted Manchester City who were at the time the top two teams in the Premier League. These trips usually (eventually) appear on the Alsie Express website as flight only if the travel agency is struggling to sell all the seats.
Sønderborg is a nice place to live, but of limited inbound tourist interest unless you have a strong Danish cultural background - I think they will struggle to sell many seats to UK originating pax, especially when Billund has multiple flights to London every day

Small airline, small airport... but good
