A total of 2.28 million passengers passed through Copenhagen Airport in March, exactly the same number as last year, when Easter fell in March.

The Danish gateway believes it marks the start of a good year for passenger numbers ahead of what is expected to be a busy Easter and summer 2025 during which its airlines will offer 315 direct routes from Copenhagen to destinations around the world.

“This year, Easter falls later than it did last year. Despite this, we experienced a keen desire for travel in March. A lot of people want to travel – including tourists visiting Copenhagen and other parts of Denmark,” notes Peter Krogsgaard, Copenhagen Airports A/S’s chief commercial officer.

Danes make up 35% of passengers at Copenhagen Airport. The rest are other nationalities, with Swedes, Americans, Brits and Norwegians making up the majority of travellers.

Some 6,163 million passengers passed through Copenhagen Airport in the first three months of 2025 – 6% more than in the corresponding period a year ago.

New routes

The airport notes that the number of destinations serviced from Copenhagen will include 31 new routes this summer, the bulk of them operated by SAS.

“The airlines’ summer programme is full of exciting new destinations,” enthuses Krogsgaard.

“We are very pleased that the airlines choose to establish new routes out of Copenhagen Airport, and that several of the routes are even to brand new destinations in Scandinavia, Europe, North America and Asia.

“This gives travellers from Denmark and southern Sweden more travel options around the world and – just as importantly – gives foreign tourists and business travellers from around the globe easier access to Copenhagen and the rest of Denmark.”

The vast majority of the new routes are to destinations in Europe, which make up more than 85% of the total traffic from Copenhagen Airport.

However, four of this summer’s new routes are to further afield destinations, with Delta Airlines launching a service to the US city of Minneapolis and SAS opening new routes to Seattle, Nuuk and Seoul.
