Denmark's air travel landscape was dominated by Copenhagen Airport, which handled nearly 26.7 million passengers in 2023. This marks a significant recovery from the pandemic-induced slump, with passenger numbers approaching pre-pandemic levels. That year, the smaller airports like Billund and Aalborg also saw increased traffic. Recovery and market dynamics The revival of air travel in Denmark was closely tied to the performance of major carriers like Scandinavian Airlines (SAS). In fiscal year 2023, SAS accounted for 29 percent of all flights to, from, and within Scandinavia, with Copenhagen-Kastrup serving as one of its main hubs. European flights generated the highest passenger revenue for SAS, followed by intercontinental and domestic routes. The airline's revenue increased by 32 percent compared to the previous year, reaching approximately 42 billion Swedish krona, though still below pre-pandemic levels. Economic impact and future outlook Copenhagen Airport's recovery has had a significant economic impact, with the facility generating revenue of over four billion Danish kroner in 2023. This represents a substantial increase from the 1.58 billion Danish kroner recorded in 2020 during the height of the pandemic. As air travel continues to rebound, Copenhagen Airport and other Danish airports are likely to see further growth in passenger numbers and revenue.
