Copenhagen Airport Local regulations

Apart from general rules of conduct for the airport, Copenhagen Airport Local Regulations also cover operational rules and safety regulations for persons operating around or near aircraft, road traffic rules to be observed as well as descriptions of the many special road signs and markings used at the airport.

Furthermore, rules and guidelines are included covering the safety aspects of works activities on airside, as well as the accountabilities and liabilities imposed on every person and company operating on airside, the sanctioning and punitive measures taken in case of offences, the use of airport facilities, personal protection equipment required, training of airside drivers, airside traffic permits, vehicle passes, engine run-up regulations, use of APUs, etc.

The regulations are published by the CPH Traffic & Airside Operations Department, and are now available only on the CPH website.

Persons or companies requiring hardcopy versions of the regulations may print out the various chapters, although the conservation of natural resources should be taken into serious consideration before printing.

Please note that attachments to the regulations are not available online.
