CPH: Solid growth in November

Recent months’ growth in passenger numbers continued last month, as more than
two million passengers travelled through Copenhagen Airport in November. The
increase was mainly driven by European and intercontinental traffic, but
domestic traffic also contributed.

A total of 2,069,288 passengers travelled through Copenhagen Airport in
November for a 12.2% y/y increase. The aggregate growth rate for the first
eleven months of the year was 3.2%.

The main growth drivers were European and intercontinental traffic, but
domestic traffic also contributed. An increase of more than 10,000 domestic
passengers in November produced a 7.5% year-on-year improvement.

“Traffic between Copenhagen and Aalborg increased strongly compared with
November of last year, in part due to a slight increase in capacity on this
route between northern and eastern Denmark,” said CEO Thomas Woldbye.

“Overall, the main growth drivers are the European and intercontinental routes.
Among the intercontinental routes, Middle East destinations are becoming
increasingly popular. UK and Italian destinations are the main drivers of
growth on European routes. Notably, the increase in this segment also covers a
rather significant increase in the number of foreign tourists and business
people travelling to Denmark, creating revenue and jobs here,” Woldbye
explained.

Year to date, 24,676,846 million passengers have travelled through Copenhagen
Airport, marking a 3.2% increase on last year. Intercontinental traffic is up
by 2.7%, European traffic is up by 3.8%, and domestic traffic, while down 3.9%,
has started to recover.
