Worst year since 1970: CPH lost 22.7 million passengers

Even with two ordinary months of traffic in January and February, passenger numbers in 2020 ended at 7.5 million, a 75.1 per cent drop compared to 2019. We have to go back fifty years - to 1970 - to find a similar passenger volume. The rays of hope were cargo freight and most recently the COVID-19 vaccines. The tides of fortune are expected to turn during the summer. Not since 1970 have so few passengers passed through the terminals at Copenhagen Airport. Back then, the number was 6.8 million; in 2020, it was 7.5 million - that amounts to 22.7 million fewer than the year before.
