Copenhagen Airport Sets May Travel Record

Copenhagen Airport experienced its busiest May on record, welcoming 3.1 million travelers. This figure represents a 7% increase compared to the same month last year, according to a press release from the airport. Airport officials noted that global travel demand remains robust, even with rising fuel prices. Several days in May saw passenger numbers comparable to the peak days of the previous summer.

Norway emerged as the most popular country for travelers in May, while London was the top city destination. The airport also reported a significant surge in domestic travel, with 590,000 passengers flying domestically to or from Copenhagen in the first five months of the year. This marks a 22% increase compared to the same period in 2023.

Peter Krogsgaard, the airport's commercial director, commented on the strong travel appetite. "The global desire to travel remains high despite rising fuel prices, and several days in May were on par with the biggest travel days at the airport last summer," he stated. The airport's performance highlights a continued recovery and growth in air travel.
