Download Source FileMassive growth at Copenhagen Airport in May
Passenger numbers at Copenhagen Airport grew by 6.6% year on year in May. The
year-to-date number of travelers increased by 1,5%.
For the first time ever, passenger numbers for May rounded 2.1 million,
reaching a monthly record of 2,149,697 passengers. The previous record was from
2011. The record was mainly the result of the continuing growth in the number
of international passengers.
International traffic was up by 5.7%, partly due to the growth rates of
Norwegian, easyJet and Vueling, and a strong start for the new SAS route to San
Francisco, and a 2.0% increase in the number of transfer passengers. And for
the first time in two years, domestic traffic also contributed to the growth.
"The 17% growth in domestic traffic was achieved because we now see a positive
full-year effect of the domestic routes that were opened in the wake of the
Cimber Sterling bankruptcy on 3 May last year. However, more capacity is still
needed – not least in terms of more frequencies – for domestic traffic to reach
the 2011 level," said Copenhagen Airport's CEO Thomas Woldbye.
Year to date, close to 9.2 million passengers have travelled through Copenhagen
Airport, representing a 1.5% increase.
