10-Jul-2013

Passenger numbers at Copenhagen Airport were up 4.8% in June. A total of 2,329,956 passengers travelled through Copenhagen Airport during the first month of summer, the busiest month ever at the airport. The year-to-date increase in passenger numbers is 2.2%.

Many people travel abroad for their summer holidays, and that shows at Copenhagen Airport, as the number of international passengers rose by 4.4% year on year in June.

"June 2013 was the busiest month ever in Copenhagen Airport's 88-year history. That emphasises how important it is for us to have the large, 1,400 square metre expansion of Terminal 2 ready for the summer traffic. The new, more light and spacious terminal area has 12 new check-in desks and a large number of additional self-service kiosks," said Thomas Woldbye, CEO of Copenhagen Airport.

Domestic traffic increased by as much as 10.2%. This brought the total year-on-year increase in passenger numbers to 4.8% in June.

Year-to-date, passenger numbers at Copenhagen Airport increased by 2.2%, to a total of 11.5 million passengers.

On the top-10 list, the European cities Milan and Berlin showed the strongest growth.
