## Description

Some 306,577 tonnes of air freight passed through Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (IATA: CPH, ICAO: EKCH) in 2025, easing 5.9 percent from a record 325,759 tonnes in 2024 – still the highest figure in Scandinavia. The driver is pharma: Denmark's export boom around Novo Nordisk pulls temperature-controlled freight through the airport's Cargo City on the eastern side of the field. Belly capacity on the long-haul network of home carrier SAS is complemented by scheduled freighters, Emirates SkyCargo among them. With around 30 million passengers a year, Kastrup is also Scandinavia's largest passenger airport. Its catchment reaches beyond Denmark: the Øresund Bridge starts practically at the runway ends, putting Malmö and southern Sweden within easy trucking distance of the cargo sheds. Multimodal access is rare in this completeness – the E20 motorway, a railway station beneath Terminal 3 with through trains to Sweden, and the Copenhagen Malmö Port all sit within a few kilometres. Aviation in Kastrup dates back to 1925, which makes the site one of the world's oldest continuously operating civil airports.
