The Danish State’s acquisition of Copenhagen Airports A/S has been completed
On 16 July 2025, the European Commission approved the Danish State’s acquisition of the controlling shareholding in Copenhagen Airports A/S. With all conditions for the transaction fulfilled, the acquisition has now been completed as of 30 September 2025.
Following the transaction, the Danish State – via the Ministry of Finance – now holds approximately 98.6% of the shares in Copenhagen Airports A/S. The remaining shares are primarily held by private minority shareholders.
“We are pleased to secure an ownership structure which ensures that Denmark continues to have a strong international airport contributing significantly to the country’s global connectivity. As one of Denmark’s largest workplaces, it is crucial to have a responsible and long-term ownership group that guarantees the airport’s continued positive contribution to the Danish economy,” says Lars Nørby Johansen, Chairman of the Board of Directors at Copenhagen Airports A/S.
Copenhagen Airports A/S will shortly convene an extraordinary general meeting to elect new board members.
