Copenhagen Airport, Kastrup or sometimes called Copenhangen Kastrup Airport as well, is the main international airport of Denmark, serving the capital Copenhagen, the Zealand island and, since the opening of the Oresond Bridge in 2001, a large part of Sweden as well.
Copenhagen Kastrup Airport is one of the oldest civil airports in the world and is with well over 20 million passengers a year by far the most busiest airport in Scandinavia. Copenhagen Airport is one of the main hubs for SAS (Scandinavian Airlines) and the main base for Norwegian Air Shuttle.
The airport opened in 1925 and expanded rapidly before World War II started. During the war the airport was closed to most civilian use; a new 1400 meter paved runway was constructed in 1941. After the war Copenhagen Airport was one of the most modern airports in Europe as it was largely unharmed by bombings or fighting. This, and the founding of the Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) in 1947, caused a tremendous growth in the decades after the war and made Copenhagen Airport one of the largest airports in Europe.
Most flights from Copenhagen Airport, Kastrup are to Amsterdam and to Paris but there are many more flights to other destinations as well, most of them by SAS Scandinavian Airlines. These are the most popular destinations from Copenhagen Airport, Kastrup:
