Copenhagen Airport announced an expansion plan today that would see the number of passengers passing through the facility nearly double from 24 million to 40 million each year.

“This is not a pipe dream,” Thomas Woldbye, head of the airport, told DR Nyheder. “This is a concrete expansion plan based on detailed preparation work.”
The 40 million passenger goal won’t be realised before 2035, but construction will start next year.

The international terminal is the first slated for growth, with more gates being added for international flights. Woldbye said that the airport’s physical size cannot be increased, so the existing site will have to be optimised.
