Around 175,000 passengers passed through the airport in January – which is only 8.9% of traffic from the same time last year
Passenger traffic at Copenhagen Airport hit an all-time low at the beginning of this year after a brief recovery period in the summer.
There were only 132 departures from the facility in January of this year compared with 617 in the same period in 2020. The airport hopes the development of a universal coronavirus passport and the distribution of vaccines will lead the path to recovery.
“This January was in every way a sad start to the year at Copenhagen Airport, and the outlook for February is even bleaker bearing in mind the new travel restrictions with requirements of mandatory quarantine and a negative COVID-19 test result for all travellers on international arrivals,” said Peter Krogsgaard, chief commercial officer at CPH.
