Since Girls in Airports came together in 2009, they have consistently sought to expand their sonic universe with new musical inspirations – spanning modern jazz, global folklore, minimalism, synthesizer music, and an atmospheric sound that has led critics to compare the band to diverse names such as Brian Eno, Radiohead, King Crimson, Jon Hassell, Sun Ra, and Jan Garbarek. Girls in Airports is one of the few young Danish indie-jazz bands that have successfully broken through internationally. In Germany, they are represented by one of the country's leading booking agencies and play to packed concert halls wherever they go. The band has toured countries like the USA, China, Brazil, and most of Europe.

In November 2020, Girls in Airports released their sixth album, titled "Dive." The album was born out of an inner necessity and marks a liberation of the band's sound, where ideas emerge in a way that is new to the band's music. On the album, the band returns to the nerve and energy that brought the musicians together in 2009. A new aspect is that melodies do not play a central role in the music; instead, they appear as collective progressions that reflect the mind's movements between light and darkness, life and death, optimism and melancholy.

"Dive" was followed in May 2021 by the album "Leap," which is the culmination of a two-year collaboration with the Aarhus Jazz Orchestra. The fourteen members of the big band, along with violinist Nils Gröndahl, add an organic richness of detail to the quartet's distinctive sound. It is an ambitious work that brings the big band sound into the present, showcasing the magical and vibrant potential of a large jazz orchestra.

Girls in Airports consists of Martin Stender on saxophone, Mathias Holm on keyboards, Victor Dybbroe on percussion, and Anders Vestergaard on drums.
