Passengers (pax)
A total of 6.2 million passengers passed through
Copenhagen Airport during the first three months of

passengers, or 7%, compared with the same period
of 2024. European destinations accounted for most
of the increase with 0.3 million passengers or 6%
compared with 2024. The rest of the increase
stemmed from intercontinental routes.
The total number of departing passengers was 3.0
million (up 5% compared with the same period last
year), of which 2.4 million were locally departing
passengers (2% up on last year), and 0.7 million
were departing transfer and transit passengers (19%
up on the same period last year).
Locally departing passengers accounted for 79% of
all departing passengers, while transfer and transit
passengers accounted for 21%. The total number of
arriving passengers was 3.1 million (8% up on last
year).
Compared with 2024, total seat capacity increased
by 8% in the first three months of 2025, the number
of passenger-related operations increased by 5%,
and the average cabin factor (occupancy) decreased
by 2% to 72%.
Revenue
In 2023, CPH negotiated a new commercial charges
agreement for the period 2024 to 2027. The new
charges agreement contained restructured take-off,
security and passenger charges with increases in
prices and aeronautical revenue. The increase in
charges for 2025 will be effective from 1 April 2025.
An increase in passenger numbers and number of
flight operations resulted in total aeronautical
revenue increasing by DKK 24 million, or 4%, on the
same period last year to a total of DKK 632 million.
Passenger, security, and handling charges
increased by DKK 17 million on the same period of
last year to DKK 507 million. There was a change in
passenger mix, with more transfer passengers and
more passengers traveling from the low-cost pier
CPH go compared with the same period last year.
Take-off charges amounted to DKK 112 million, an
increase of 7% compared with the same period last
year, primarily driven by an increase in the number
of flight operations. Passenger-related operations
increased by 5%, while cargo operations decreased
by 1%.
EBIT
Aeronautical EBIT for the first three months of 2025
amounted to a loss of DKK 77 million and was in line
with the same period of 2024. The positive impact of
higher revenue and lower depreciation charges was
offset by higher staff costs.
