Copenhagen Kastrup Airport

Copenhagen Airport (EKCH) sits 5 miles southeast of central Copenhagen on the island of Amager. Commercial service is dominant — EKCH is the principal SAS hub and the busiest airport in Scandinavia — and the field handles a meaningful flow of Nordic business aviation, particularly Scandinavian corporate and private traffic plus the Northern European leisure flow to Copenhagen.

The three runways at EKCH (04L/22R 11,811 ft, 04R/22L 10,827 ft, 12/30 10,072 ft) handle every current business jet without restriction. Three FBOs (Copenhagen Aviation Service, Execu-Jet, and Jet Aviation) handle business movements. Slot pressure is meaningful during peak commercial banks and the Northern European summer travel peak. Field elevation is 17 feet, no density-altitude concerns. The dominant operational considerations are Scandinavian winter weather (low ceilings, occasional snow events, ice fog), the standard Northern European weather pattern, and the strict Danish noise framework. Ground time into central Copenhagen via the Øresund Motorway is 15–25 minutes; the airport metro delivers to Kongens Nytorv in 14 minutes; the Øresund Bridge to Malmö, Sweden is 25 minutes by car.

Copenhagen Airport is an international airport serving Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, as well as the wider Øresund Region, including Zealand, Malmö, and the southern Swedish province of Scania as a whole. In 2023, it was the largest airport in the Nordic countries.
