LEGO closes corporate jet division due to decreased demand

LEGO Group has shut down its corporate jet division as of the end of February 2025. This decision comes after a significant drop in demand for corporate flights and a tighter focus on environmental sustainability. The company operated three Dassault Falcon jets from its private airfield in Billund, Denmark. The history of the corporate airline began in 1961 when LEGO purchased land and later opened a private airfield. The airport eventually became public in 1964. Kirkbi A/S, the main owner of LEGO, stated that the closure was necessary due to reduced demand and a commitment to lowering CO2 emissions. As a result, 16 employees will lose their jobs. LEGO’s fleet included the Falcon 2000LXS, Falcon 7X, and Falcon 8X. Each aircraft was known for its reliability and efficiency. Kirkbi has made arrangements to transfer the Falcon 2000LXS to Blackbird Air while planning to sell the other two planes. There's also a possibility of renting out facilities at Billund. LEGO's corporate aviation services were established to allow easier travel for executives and business partners. Over the years, the company acquired several aircraft, increasing flexibility for business travel. The operations have changed significantly since the first aircraft purchase in 1962, leading to the expanded operations at Billund Airport. LEGO's commitment to sustainability and changing market conditions has reshaped its approach to corporate travel, now transitioning away from private jets.
