Record Passengers Drive Growth at Copenhagen Airport

Copenhagen Airport is experiencing a surge in passenger traffic, leading to significant growth in both revenue and profit for the first half of the year. The airport served a record 16.1 million passengers, a 9% increase compared to the same period in 2025. This surge is attributed to a continued high global demand for travel, even with rising fuel prices, and Copenhagen's role as a preferred transit hub.

While the airport's full-year passenger forecast has been slightly adjusted downward from 35.5 million to 34.5 million, this figure still represents a substantial increase over the 32.4 million passengers recorded last year. The company attributes the revised forecast to a recent slowdown in demand. Nevertheless, revenue is still projected to grow by approximately 9% for the entire year.

"Global travel appetite remains high despite rising fuel prices, and more passengers are choosing to fly via Copenhagen," stated CEO Christian Poulsen in a press release. The increase in passenger numbers includes those departing, arriving, and transiting through the airport.
