Copenhagen Airport back on growth track
Passenger numbers at Copenhagen Airport grew by 11.9% year on year in May. This
brought travel patterns back to the level of before the ash cloud paralysed
European airspace for six days in April. The year-to-date increase in passenger
numbers was 4.8%.
A total of 1,897,202 passengers passed through Copenhagen Airport in May,
reflecting an increase of about 200,000 passengers or 11.9% as compared with
the same month of last year.
“We recorded growth across the board in May, and Copenhagen Airport is among
the major European airports that have recorded the highest growth rates in
2010. In particular, it has been interesting to note the growth on a number of
the intercontinental services both to North America and Asia, which contributes
to underlining the position of Copenhagen Airport as a northern European
traffic hub,” said Carsten Nørland, VP, Sales for Copenhagen Airports.
The growth on Danish domestic services also continued, and the number of
domestic passengers increased by 29,7% year on year. The number of
international passengers grew by 10.0%, whilst transfer passengers grew by
12.2%.
