Copenhagen Airport (IATA Flight Code: CPH), commonly called Kastrup, is the busiest At the airport|airport of the Nordic countries. It is on the island of Copenhagen/Amager|Amager. Beside Copenhagen and the airport also serves Malmö, Sweden, which is linked via the Øresund Bridge.

Copenhagen is the main airport for the densely-populated Øresund region and the main air transportation hub for Scandinavia and the main hub for the joint Danish-Swedish-Norwegian carrier SAS Group, and one of Europe's major hubs. There are many intercontinental connections to Copenhagen, and a dense network of short-haul connections from Copenhagen to destinations throughout all of Europe, especially the Nordic countries.

Compared to other major European hub airports, like Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport|Charles de Gaulle or London Heathrow Airport Airport|Heathrow, CPH has a similar number of connections, but is much smaller in both actual size and passenger volumes, and can provide a calmer, more pleasant experience. Its location in the south of Scandinavia makes reaching most European destinations reasonable, and flying to destinations in the Baltic region and in Eastern Europe generally only takes half the time as from major hub airports in Western Europe.

Copenhagen Airport is a compact airport with two terminals for check-in, but with a common post-security departure and transfer area, thus making transfers very smooth. The airport handles in excess of 25 million passengers a year, which puts it in the same league as Zurich Airport|Zurich and Vienna International Airport|Vienna. It has also consistently topped the charts for Nordic airports, serving as a European and intercontinental hub for all of them due to its location.

The airport opened in 1925 and became the hub of SAS upon that airline's establishment in 1946. It has been growing ever since: Terminal 2 opened in 1960, and Terminal 3 opened in 1998. After the opening of the Øresund Bridge to Malmö and the airport has also been the primary airport for Scania|southern Sweden.

Prayer Facilities at Copenhagen Airport

The airport also offers a Silent Room, which is open to people of all faiths. This room is designed for meditation, relaxation, and prayer. It features a comfortable carpet, a prayer mat, and a tasbih. The Silent Room is a peaceful and serene space, perfect for taking a break from the hustle and bustle of the airport.

Overall, Copenhagen Airport is a Muslim-friendly airport that offers excellent facilities for prayer and meditation. The airport's commitment to inclusivity and diversity is admirable and serves as an example for other airports to follow.

Muslim Friendly Flights from Copenhagen Airport

Copenhagen Airport Mai 2009 PD 099 - SAS Scandinavian Airlines, for whom Copenhagen is the most important hub, dominate the airport.

Intercontinental connections

Copenhagen's international connections are mainly provided by two competing Scandinavian carriers, which have long-haul bases at the airport:

SAS is a member of Star Alliance, meaning that many of their flights are code-shared or can be interlined with local Star Alliance partners. Therefore, you can take advantage of a one-ticket flight to, from, or via Copenhagen even if your origin or destination is not directly served by SAS. Norwegian is not a member of any alliance, but they offer connecting Flights from Copenhagen to their European destinations on one ticket with an intercontinental flight.

Other airlines offering intercontinental connections to Copenhagen are SAS's Star Alliance partners Singapore-Airlines (to Singapore Changi Airport|Singapore), Air Canada (to Toronto) and Thai-Airways (to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi and Phuket), as well as competing SkyTeam carrier Delta with a seasonal connection to JFK and Pakistan International Airlines to Islamabad and Lahore.

Apart from that, Emirates and Qatar-Airways fly between Copenhagen and their hubs in the Persian Gulf region, where you can take advantage of their dense network of connections to Asia, Africa and Australia.

Copenhagen Airport is also the only airport with year-round, direct, regularly scheduled passenger service to Greenland, operated by Air Greenland.

Norwegian Air Shuttle Boeing 737-800; LN-@CPH;10.05.2013 706df (8759496994) - The red-nosed Norwegian Air Shuttles fly not only to Norway, but also across Scandinavia and all of Europe, with a particularly dense network of connections to Spain.

Connections within Europe and the Mediterranean

Both SAS and Norwegian offer a dense network of connections between Copenhagen and other Scandinavian destinations. In particular and they both offer frequent flights between the triangle of capitals — Copenhagen, Oslo Airport, Gardermoen|Oslo and Stockholm — with an roughly hourly frequency, and very competitive pricing.

Apart from that, both carriers have extensive networks within Europe and the Mediterranean (including North Africa and the Middle East). SAS flies to most European capitals, and has a particularly dense network of connections across the Baltic Sea, to Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, as well as to Poland, where it serves the majority of even small airports. There is also a fairly good network of connections to the United Kingdom and, perhaps surprisingly, to Italy, where even smaller airports like Bologna are served.

Outside Scandinavia, Norwegian has bases at Gatwick Airport|London Gatwick and across Spain, meaning frequent service between Copenhagen and those destinations. They also serve a number of other European cities from Copenhagen, and in the summer they fly to most of the popular tourist destinations around the Mediterranean.

Almost all major European carriers have a connection to Copenhagen from their main hubs. As Denmark holds sizable immigrant communities from various European countries, even smaller carriers have frequent connections to the likes of Sarajevo or Belgrade. Copenhagen Airport has been seeing increased traffic from low-fare carriers since the launch of the dedicated CPH Go section of the airport (with common check-in and security with other airlines, but separate gates and waiting area). Airlines using CPH Go include EasyJet, Ryanair, Transavia, and WizzAir, although the latter only for selected destinations, with the majority of its Flights to the Øresund area landing at Malmö|Malmö Sturup Airport instead.
