Strong passenger growth kicks off the summer season

178,689 more passengers passed through Copenhagen Airport than during the same month of 2009. This represented a 9.3% increase, bringing the summer traffic off to a good start. An increase was seen in the number of departing international passengers and transfer passengers, and domestic traffic continued its strong growth; the year-on-year growth rate for June being 23.3%.

“June traffic gave us a good start to the summer, and our forecasts indicate that growth should continue in the months to come. Whilst it is too early to say whether we can reach the record level of the summer of 2008, these figures highlights the continued attractiveness of Copenhagen as a destination said Carsten Nørland, VP, Sales, for Copenhagen Airport.

During the first six months of the year, a total of 9,908,436 passed through Copenhagen Airport, and the year-to-date increase in passenger numbers was 5.7% higher than in 2009.
