CPH starts the year on a growth note

A total of 1,655,675 passengers travelled through Copenhagen Airport in
January, representing a 0.7% year-on-year increase. International traffic
continues to drive growth.

January is traditionally one of the quietest months in international aviation,
and at Copenhagen Airport, the number of passengers is traditionally about one
million less per month during the winter than during the summer. Still,
Copenhagen Airport set a passenger record for the 21st consecutive month.

"At more than 3% growth, our intercontinental traffic continues to show good
growth rates. The growth is primarily driven by the three overseas routes
opened by Norwegian in 2014. Moreover, Qatar Airways added an additional four
weekly frequencies to Doha from 1 February," said Thomas Woldbye, CEO of
Copenhagen Airports A/S.”

Intercontinental traffic out of Copenhagen Airport grew by 3.1% in January,
while passenger numbers on the European network grew by 1.1%. Due to lower
capacity on a number of domestic services, passenger numbers on the domestic
routes were down by 7.8%.

The growth in passenger numbers was driven by higher load factors, as the
number of take-offs and landings was down by an aggregate 4.3% in January.
