As expected, traffic in 1999 was affected by continued growth in international traffic and a fall in domestic traffic. The number of take-offs and landings at Copenhagen Airport increased by 6.3% to 298,533 airport transport movements compared with 280,788 in 1998.

 

The total number of passengers at Copenhagen Airport was up 4.1% from 16.8 million in 1998 to 17.5 million in 1999. The volume of passengers on scheduled international flights totalled 14.1 million passengers, representing an increase of 6.3% on the 1998 level. The volume of charter passengers and passengers on scheduled domestic flights fell by 0.9% and 5.8% to 1.4 million passengers and 2.0 million passengers respectively.

The take-off weight for the airport’s cargo operations increased by 12.7% although the number of cargo operations was down by 7.4% on the same period last year. The reason was that also in 1999 larger aircraft were used for the cargo operations.

Traffic developments from 1998 to 1999 were affected by a number of events in 1998, among them a general strike in April and May, the opening of the Great Belt Bridge and the introduction of a tax on domestic flights.
