The activities of Abildskou A/S are extremely wide-ranging. What started in 1960 as a coach to Tranbjerg, a suburb in the south of Århus, has since grown into one of Denmark’s largest privately-owned operators within passenger transport by road.
The year 1983 can rightly be described as a landmark for Jens E. Abildskou, coach operator. This was the year when, after many years of tireless efforts, the Danish Passenger Transport Council granted a licence to establish what has since become the popular 888 service between Århus and Copenhagen via Odden. Jens E. Abildskou thereby became a competitor to DSB. Today, the company can offer its customers, who range from young students to OAPs, six to seven daily departures to and from the capital.
However, Abildskou A/S’s fleet, consisting of twelve coaches which travel more than two million kilometres per year, does not confine itself to operating on Danish roads.
