Copenhagen Kastrup Airport: "The significant 7.3% increase in the number of transfer passengers and the 10.3% increase in the number of intercontinental passengers shows that we have strengthened our international position as the key northern European transport hub. Five major bankruptcies among European airlines in 2012 had a direct impact on operations at Copenhagen Airport, but we were still able to generate strong growth. That is a very satisfactory performance," Thomas Woldbye, CEO. Source: Company statement, 11-Jan-2013.
