Copenhagen Airport security and operational issues

Overview

Copenhagen Airport has faced significant operational challenges following a Danish Transport Authority inspection. The inspection mandated stricter security procedures, including increased manual checks and extensive scanning, which resulted in massive queues and hundreds of missed flights. Airlines such as SAS and Norwegian reported disruptions as travelers faced wait times of up to 90 minutes.

Later, the airport was subject to a police and Explosive Ordnance Disposal investigation following reports of suspicious circumstances involving two aircraft. While authorities investigated the planes after they landed, Copenhagen Police stated there was no immediate danger and airport operations remained normal.
