Copenhagen Airport reduce connection time

Shorter travel time, access to more than 40 additional daily flight connections on SAS, and better facilities for passengers. A new partnership between SAS and CPH is expected to attract more than 200,000 additional transfer passengers per year.
In the course of the year, SAS and CPH will reduce the minimum connection time to 30 minutes for all flights from the so-called Schengen countries.

By reducing the minimum connection time, Copenhagen Airport and SAS will be placed considerably higher on the lists of the attractive search engines and sales systems around the world which identify possible and fast travel itineraries.

With a new strategic partnership, Copenhagen Airports (CPH) and SAS are taking a major step towards making Copenhagen Airport one of the very best transfer airports in the world and the leading international traffic hub in northern Europe.
43 new attractive flight connections via Copenhagen
The initial focus will be on the six airports from which SAS carries the largest number of passengers via Copenhagen to other parts of the world. SAS and CPH have now reduced the minimum connection time from 40 to 30 minutes for passengers flying via Copenhagen to or from Stockholm, Gothenburg, Oslo, Bergen, Stavanger and Helsinki (see example below). This means shorter travel time for passengers because they can connect faster to one of the 43 additional flights per day that will be available as a result of the shorter transfer time. It is expected that the initiative will initially result in up to 50,000 transfer passengers per year.
A better airport for everybody
In addition to becoming more attractive to passengers using Copenhagen Airport as a springboard, the partnership will also have a favourable impact for passengers starting or ending their journeys in Copenhagen. One of the initiatives will be an improvement of the check-in facilities and efficiency improvements in baggage handling. Finally, the partnership will be used to strengthen the collaboration on route development in Copenhagen.
