The world's leading aviation society, the independent Air Transport Research Society (ATRS), rates the world's most efficient airports once a year. For the tenth time in twelve years, Copenhagen Airport has won the title "Europe's most efficient airport".
Best in Europe time after time
Each year, the ATRS assesses productivity, costs and efficiency at some 200 airports worldwide, and Copenhagen Airport has, time and again, been rated best in Europe in that field.
Specific proof of the continual focus on efficiency improvements can be found in the recently renovated Terminal 2. One of the latest initiatives in the terminal is the installation of sensors in the ceiling that register whether passengers are moving or are standing still. This helps the airport predict and, thereby, prevent queuing.
The self-service bag drops reduce the time passengers spend at the counters to as little as 15 seconds, and the optimised use of check-in facilities has increased efficiency by 30%. Both of these improvements helped us reduce the airport's costs per passenger by 1.7%.
