A healthy 14% rise in transfer traffic ensured that Copenhagen Airport handled 1.62 million passengers (+6.5%) in February – a new monthly record.
The airport reveals that the upturn in transit passengers was driven by a "significant increase in traffic from Finland", which it claims has helped strengthen its position as the hub of northern Europe.
It wasn't all good news, however, as the gateway experienced a decline in domestic traffic during the month.
"Domestic traffic has grown by about 20% over the past three years due to increased competition and resulting in lower fares," says Carsten Nørland, vice president, sales and marketing for Copenhagen Airports A/S.
"However, we have recently seen a decline in domestic traffic due to reductions in the number of frequencies and in capacity."
