FROM BOARD & MANAGEMENT
We're ready - let's travel again!
After 17 months of free fall in the aviation industry, passengers slowly began returning during summer 2021. CPH is ready to invest in the future, although the year saw a pre-tax loss of DKK 666.5 million. The company's debt is growing. That is a challenge for the ambition and pace of the green transition.
The total number of passengers for the year was 9.2 million, and growth in the second half promises well for the future. Although the crisis is not over, it is vital that we continue to invest in developing Copenhagen Airport so we remain attractive for airlines and passengers. Otherwise, Denmark will lose ground to the countries around us.
The development of CPH continues
In autumn 2021, the Board decided to continue with the biggest investment of recent times - the planned development of Terminal 3 airside with better facilities and more space for airlines, customers and passengers.
ened and moved a little closer to Øresund
- a plan that has airlines' support.
The green transition
Denmark is a relatively small country in northern Europe. Air transport is crucial to our commerce and prosperity, and vital for us to evolve and experience the world - as companies and individuals. We do not need to fly less. We need to fly greener and more sustainably.
This was addressed by both Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II and Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen in their New Year speeches. In January 2022, the Danish PM visited CPH to
2021 was a year of two very different halves. The first six months saw parked aircraft, empty terminals and just 5,000 daily passen- gers, equivalent to an ordinary day in 1962.
Then came the summer. Vaccinations, the corona passport and the lifting of restrictions released a pent-up desire to travel and restored life to the terminals, with up to 40- 50,000 daily passengers, the gradual reopening of shops and food outlets, busy runways and the restart of around 120 routes.
In the second half of the year, activity was at 49% compared to 2019, the year before the COVID-19 pandemic. In December, however, the terminals lacked some of the traditional Christmas bustle as the Omicron variant created uncertainty and many countries once again toughened up on testing and quarantine requirements.

After three years of preparatory work, an agreement was signed for the main contract, which is worth DKK 2.1 billion over the next seven years. When fully completed, the total investment will exceed DKK 4 billion.
On 20 December, the government and a majority in parliament entered into a political agreement to strengthen the framework for developing the airport by amending the Expansion Act. The agreement is crucial for the further development of an efficient and sustainable airport that can provide a modern venue for airlines and passengers.
The airport will be developed within the existing footprint and within the applicable noise and environmental requirements. To provide space for future technology and modern aircraft types, the third runway, known as the "cross-wind runway", will be slightly short-
discuss the plans for sustainable aviation and the government's new milestone ambition that all domestic flights should be powered by sustainable fuel by 2030.
In the Green Fuels for Denmark partnership with some of the biggest companies in the country, we are already working to create a new green business venture for Denmark involving the production of climate-neutralfuels for aircraft and other modes of transport.
In line with the recommendations of the Climate Partnership for Aviation, CPH and the industry is pressing for the establishment of a climate fund with a contribution from all local departing passengers from Danish airports. The revenue from this fund should be used to create demand for new sustainable fuels, ensure research and promote production of greater quantities at a competitive price.
