Strong passenger growth kicks off the summer season
Passenger numbers at Copenhagen Airport during the first month of the summer
were 9.3% higher than in the same month of last year. A total of 2,091,952
passengers flew either into or out of Copenhagen Airport in June, which were
only 5,000 fewer than the record set in the summer of 2008.
178,689 more passengers passed through Copenhagen Airport than during the same
month of 2009. This represented a 9.3% increase, bringing the summer traffic
off to a good start. An increase was seen in the number of departing
international passengers and transfer passengers, and domestic traffic
continued its strong growth; the year-on-year growth rate for June being 23.3%.
“June traffic gave us a good start to the summer, and our forecasts indicate
that growth should continue in the months to come. Whilst it is too early to
say whether we can reach the record level of the summer of 2008, these figures
highlights the continued attractiveness of Copenhagen as a destination” said
Carsten Nørland, VP, Sales, for Copenhagen Airport.
During the first six months of the year, a total of 9,908,436 passed through
Copenhagen Airport, and the year-to-date increase in passenger numbers was 5.7%
higher than in 2009.
