Traffic in line with expectations

Close to 1.9 million passengers travelled through Copenhagen Airport in March.
The early Easter this year resulted in a minor 0.4% year-on-year decline, which
was expected. 

Easter was earlier this year than in 2012, which meant that there were a number
of "low-travel" days in March this year. For this reason, it was expected that
passenger numbers would show a largely neutral trend. 

"As always, it is impossible to compare March to the year before as Easter
falls on different dates from year to year. However, traffic showed a positive
trend before Easter week, which bodes well for the next few months," said
Thomas Woldbye, CEO of Copenhagen Airport. 

International traffic was up by 2.3%, continuing the positive trend: Copenhagen
Airport has now recorded growth on its international routes for the past 35
consecutive months. The last time CPH recorded a decline was in April 2010,
when traffic was affected by the volcanic ash cloud. Domestic traffic was still
substantially below last year's level due to the bankruptcy of Cimber Sterling
in May 2012. 

Year-to-date, traffic was down by 0.7%.
