High growth rate continues at Copenhagen Airport

The number of travellers at Copenhagen Airport continued to grow in April.
Traffic numbers topped the two million mark, improving by 7.6% year-on-year.

The number of travellers at Copenhagen Airport continued to grow in April. A
total of 2,291,246 passengers travelled through the airport, which was 7.6%
higher than in April 2015.

“Both our domestic and international traffic is growing strongly. In April,
intercontinental traffic was up by 8.5%, while European traffic grew by 7.3%.
In other words, we have continued the trend of high growth rates from the early
months of the year, thanks, not least, to our new routes and the greater
capacity on existing routes,” explained Thomas Woldbye, CEO of Copenhagen
Airports A/S. He points to easyJet’s new route to Lyon, France, which opened in
April, and to the new routes to Boston opened by SAS and Norwegian.

Much of the growth is based on inbound passengers arriving in Denmark for
leisure or business purposes. New routes, larger aircraft and more frequencies
are key factors to growth:

“Denmark is an attractive tourist destination, and the number of tourists
visiting Denmark is growing strongly. Especially airlines such as Ryanair and
Norwegian carry a lot of holiday-makers travelling in and out of Denmark, but
travellers coming to Denmark on business also account for a big part of the
traffic increase. In the first quarter of 2016, the volume of business
travellers inbound to Copenhagen grew by 16%. Our large route network and high
frequency of service makes it easy to come to Denmark, and for many companies
that it an important factor when deciding where to place their business and
investments,” explains Woldbye.

Year-to-date traffic at Copenhagen Airport was up by 11.7%, and a total of
8,397,443 million passengers travelled through the airport in the first four
months of the year. London remains the most popular destination. Traffic to
Britain’s capital city rose by 22.2% over April 2015.
