The United Kingdom’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) has issued a warning to British nationals, stating that long waiting times are occurring at immigration control at Copenhagen Airport in Denmark.
Passengers with short connecting times or those who require assistance are advised to speak to airport staff wearing yellow vests who are managing the queues, and to allow extra time in their schedules in anticipation of congestion. According to the notice, embassy staff are in discussions with the relevant authorities about measures to ease the congestion.
Copenhagen Airport expects to handle around 35.5 million passengers this year. The number of transfer passengers in the first quarter reached just under 2 million, a record year-on-year increase of 50%. This sharp rise is largely attributed to changes in Scandinavian Airlines’ business strategy. The majority of transfer passengers are Norwegians, Swedes, and Danes, many of whom are travelling onwards to destinations in Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia. In recent years, the number of American and Asian passengers using the airport has also been increasing.
