Aug 23, 2023 (newstodate): The Irish LCC Ryanair's charismatic CEO, Michael O’Leary paid a brief visit to Denmark, announcing the reopening of its base at Copenhagen Airport from December 2023.
For a start, the carrier will allocate two Boeing 737-800 aircraft at Copenhagen Airport and launch flights from October 29, 2023, on four new routes to Dusseldorf-Weeze, Faro, Paris-Beauvais and Warszawa-Modlin.
However, Ryanair is already operating flights between Copenhagen and Dusseldorf and Faro, leaving only the other two routes as novelties at Copenhagen.
With these expansions, Ryanair will be serving a total of 24 routes to and from Copenhagen during the winter '23/24 schedule.
At the same time, Ryanair warns that further expansion of its traffic at Copenhagen Airport will depend on a decision by the Danish transport authorities to reduce its airport charges scheme - which is far from given..
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.
