DENMARK. Copenhagen Airport passenger numbers climbed by +4.3% year-on-year in November, hitting 1.76 million. The figures were a new high for the month and marked the eighth monthly record for passenger volumes in 2011.
The number of international passengers rose +6.0%, and there were +9.6% more transfer passengers, while domestic traffic was down by -7.2% due to a reduction in capacity and number of frequencies to various Danish destinations.
Carsten Nørland, Vice President Sales and Marketing for Copenhagen Airports, said: “Transfer traffic contributed to the growth in passenger numbers in November. Traffic grew from all of the six major feeder airports: Stockholm, Oslo, Gothenburg, Stavanger, Bergen and Helsinki, with the latter showing the highest growth rate thanks to the airline Blue1, which has increased its traffic on the Finnish capital. This strengthens our position as a northern European traffic hub.”
Year to date, more than 21.1 million passengers have used Copenhagen Airport, representing a year-on-year growth rate of +5.7%. 2011 is set to surpass 2008 as the airport’s record year for traffic.
