Copenhagen Airports

The airport was inaugurated 20 April 1925 and was one of the first civil airports in the world. It consisted of a large, impressive terminal built of wood, a couple of hangars, a balloon mast, a hydroplane landing stage and a few grassy meadows that could be used as runways. Copenhagen Airport was originally called Kastrup Airport, since it is located in the small town of Kastrup, now a part of the Tarnby municipality. The airport is the main hub out of three used by Scandinavian Airlines and is also an operating base for Thomas Cook Airlines Scandinavia and Norwegian Air Shuttle. Copenhagen Airport handles around 60 scheduled airlines and has a maximum operation capability of 83 operations/hour, and a total of 108 jet bridge and remote parking stands.
