Once again Copenhagen Airport has been rated the most efficient airport in Europe, marking the ninth time in eleven years the honor has been bestowed upon Copenhagen Airport.

The organization behind the award is the international and independent Air Transport Research Society (ATRS). The award as "Europe's most efficient airport" was presented to Copenhagen Airport COO Kristian Durhuus at the ATRS World Conference in Bordeaux, France.

"Although this is the ninth time in eleven years that Copenhagen Airport have won the award for being Europe's most efficient airport, I guarantee you that we do not take the award for granted or expect to win it each year. In the last decade, competition among the major airports for routes, growth and jobs has intensified significantly, so we are very proud indeed to receive the award," said Copenhagen Airports’ COO, Kristian Durhuus.

Connected efficiency

Copenhagen Airport is not only efficient in itself – it is also efficiently connected to Copenhagen. Both trains and metro lines are connected to the terminals, ensuring swift transportation to Copenhagen, the rest of Denmark, as well as Sweden. In fact, it will take a traveler less than 15 minutes to go from Copenhagen Airport to the center of Copenhagen by the metro - which runs every 3-4 minutes.

Self-service increases efficiency

An efficient way of reducing costs is to introduce self-service and new technology solutions. Copenhagen Airport has been at the forefront in this area for several years, initially with self-service check-in kiosks and later with facilities ranging from self-service bag drops to automatic boarding pass control at security and at the gates.
