Can I make a 3 hours connection at AAL on an international flight?
3 hours clears the 40-minute international minimum connection time at Aalborg, but you should still head directly to your gate.

Passengers transferring between Schengen zones (Denmark to EU) remain airside and do not pass through security re-screening. Connections between Schengen and non-Schengen flights require full security re-screening in the international departures area.

We recommend at least 30 minutes for a comfortable connection at Aalborg. This gives you enough buffer for security (typically 10 minutes) and transit between terminals (up to 12 minutes).
