Game consoles at Copenhagen Airport

Time does not necessarily fly when you are a kid waiting with your parents at the airport for your holiday to begin.   A new deal with video games publisher Ubisoft Entertainment now makes it easier for children and young people to pass the time while they are waiting for their flight at Copenhagen Airport.

Six game stations have been set up in the family and Kids' Airport sections of the terminal area where you can play the latest video games from Ubisoft Entertainment in Sony PlayStation, Nintendo GameCube and Microsoft Xbox formats. There is no charge for using the consoles, and new games will be added every three months, which for most people means there will be new games to try out each time they use the airport.

Carina Fatum Carlsen of Copenhagen Airport's Passenger Service department is happy to announce that there are now more things for children to do when they visit the airport. Many of the over 17 million passengers using the airport each year are children – or at least young at heart.

"It's a good option for families with children in more than one age group. The games are aimed at children from three to eighteen years old, but anyone is welcome to play, of course. There is something for every taste."

The game consoles are a permanent addition to airport facilities.
