Marie-Louise Lotz, Copenhagen Airport’s Head of Passenger Service said this is a big milestone for the airport: “Every year, thousands of new passengers arrive at the airport, and we always do our utmost to give them a good experience when they start, continue or finish their journey.
 
“We consider a visit to Copenhagen Airport to be part of the journey, a place where travellers have the opportunity to take a break, enjoy a good meal at one of our many restaurants or cafés, or can spend time shopping in a nice and exciting atmosphere.”

This means that the airport will round passenger number 700 million in the spring of 2015, a number corresponding to the population of the US, Indonesia, Mexico and Denmark – all lumped together.
