Passengers (pax)
A total of 14.9 million passengers passed through
Copenhagen Airport during the first six months of
2025, equivalent to an increase of 1.1 million
passengers, or 8%, compared with the same period
of 2024. European destinations accounted for most
of the increase with 0.8 million passengers or 7%
growth compared with 2024. The rest of the increase
was driven by domestic and intercontinental routes.

million (up 7% compared with the same period last
year), of which 5.8 million were locally departing
passengers (4% up compared to last year), and 1.6
million were departing transfer and transit
passengers (23% up on the same period last year).
Locally departing passengers accounted for 78% of
all departing passengers (2024: 81%), while transfer
and transit passengers accounted for 22% (2024:
19%). The total number of arriving passengers was
7.5 million (8% up compared to last year).
Compared with 2024, total seat capacity increased
by 7% in the first six months of 2025, the number of
passenger-related operations increased by 6%, and
the average cabin factor (occupancy) increased by
1% to 76%.
Revenue
In 2023, CPH negotiated a new commercial charges
agreement for the period 2024 to 2027. The new
charges agreement contained restructured take-off,
passenger and security charges with annual
indexation of prices and aeronautical revenue. The
2025 indexation for charges took effect on 1 April
2025.
An increase in passenger numbers and number of
flight operations during the first six months of 2025
resulted in total aeronautical revenue increasing by
DKK 122 million, or 9%, on the same period last year
to a total of DKK 1,548 million.
Passenger, security, and handling charges
increased by DKK 101 million on the same period of
last year to DKK 1,262 million, primarily driven by the
increase in passenger numbers and the indexation
of charges from 1 April 2025.
Take-off charges amounted to DKK 262 million, an
increase of 10% compared with the same period last
year, primarily driven by an increase in the number
of flight operations. Passenger-related operations
increased by 6%, while cargo operations decreased
by 7%.
EBIT
Aeronautical EBIT for the first six months of 2025
amounted to DKK 133 million, an increase of DKK 62
million compared with the same period of 2024. The
positive impact of higher revenue and lower
depreciation charges was offset by higher staff costs.
