CPH started the year on a growth note

Copenhagen Airport set a monthly passenger record in January at almost 1.6
million passengers. The rate of increase was 5.3% year-on-year. Transfer
traffic grew significantly. 

With a total of 1,582,496 passengers travelling through Copenhagen Airport in
January, the year began on a growth note. International traffic grew 7.2%,
while transfer traffic, up by as much as 11.8%, was the primary factor behind
the improvement. 

"Transfer passengers contribute to the sustainability of our intercontinental
route network, and the growth in transfer traffic is therefore important for
our position as a hub," said Carsten Nørland, VP, Sales & Marketing for
Copenhagen Airport, and he continued: "Blue1's strengthening of its traffic to
and from Helsinki helps boost the number of transfer passengers, and Blue1's
decision to change its entire route network from April and use Copenhagen
Airport as a hub is expected to have a major impact on transfer traffic.” 

Blue1’s focus on Copenhagen is reflected directly in January's Top 10 of
destinations, as traffic from Helsinki increased by as much as 29.1% year on
year, advancing Helsinki from number eight to number six on the list. As usual,
the top three destinations were London, Oslo and Stockholm, whilst Aalborg
retained its position as number four on the list in spite of a decline in
domestic traffic.
