Copenhagen Airport receives top European efficiency award

Location and infrastructure:
Copenhagen again boasts the most efficient airport in Europe. The Air Transport Research Society (ATRS) has rated Copenhagen Airport the most efficient airport in Europe for the fourth time, announces the airport in a press release.
The ATRS, an academic forum whose members are professors specialising in aviation from a number of universities worldwide, has rated Copenhagen Airport the most efficient airport in Europe for the fourth time. More than 140 airports, 43 of them in Europe, participated in the survey carried out by the ATRS as a basis for the award.
The ATRS uses a number of different criteria to identify the most efficient airports, including productivity, competitiveness, charges and financial performance.
It is unusual to be both among the best and the most inexpensive, but the award proves that it is possible. When we compare ourselves with 18 peer European airports, CPH is the 9th most inexpensive and number 6 in terms of passenger satisfaction; and we now have the ATRS’ word that we are again the most efficient airport. This proves that we are operating a sound business in an efficient way,” said Brian Petersen, President and CEO of Copenhagen Airports A/S.
Copenhagen Airport is the only airport that has been rated the most efficient airport in Europe for three consecutive years – from 2004 to 2006.
