Dec 01, 2023 (newstodate): In the first window of its Christmas calendar, Copenhagen Airport is today seeing the opening of Ryanair's new base at the airport.
   Ryanair is thus allocating two Boeing 737-800 aircraft at Copenhagen Airport to serve a route network in winter 2023/24 comprising 24 routes and securing employment of some 100 staff.
   The LCC has already indicated plans for adding another two Boeing 737-800 aircraft at Copenhagen to further expand the traffic schedule from summer 2024.
    Ryanair made its entry in Denmark at Billund Airport on January 24, 2007, and in March 2012, Ryanair established its 48th base at the airport serving western Denmark.       
   But due to union protest and labor actions against Ryanair's opening of its second Danish base at Copenhagen Airport from March 2015, Ryanair closed down both bases in Denmark by July 2015.
   After finally reaching a deal with the Danish unions, Ryanair returned to Billund Airport in November 2021, allotting two aircraft to the base.
   Now Ryanair is heading back to Copenhagen at its 2nd Danish base after reaching similar agreements with the Danish unions.
