Copenhagen

Is Copenhagen Airport turbulent?

Copenhagen's location on the Øresund strait exposes it to Baltic weather systems. Winter brings gusty winds and occasional snow, while the flat terrain offers little protection from North Sea storms. The airport handles weather efficiently and major disruptions are uncommon, though delays occur during the windiest periods.

• Located on the Øresund strait between Denmark and Sweden
• Three runways allow flexible wind direction operations
• Flat terrain means no wind protection from storms

How does Copenhagen handle winter weather?

Danish airports are well-prepared for winter conditions with robust de-icing and snow removal capabilities. Delays are more common than cancellations. The maritime climate means snow is often mixed with rain, creating different challenges than Scandinavian airports farther north. Strong winds cause more disruption than snow.

When is the best time to fly from Copenhagen?

Late spring (May-June) and early autumn (September) offer pleasant conditions. Winter (November-March) brings the stormiest weather but operations continue reliably. Summer is generally calm with long daylight hours. Copenhagen is one of northern Europe's more weather-reliable airports.
