Travelers using Copenhagen Airport face severe security delays this week.

Hundreds of passengers missed their flights after standing in long queues.

The long queues began on Thursday evening at the airport.

Delays continued into Friday morning at security control check points.

The Danish Transport Authority ordered extra security checks after an inspection.

Airport officials introduced temporary security measures immediately after the review.

Rival airline Norwegian also reported heavy disruptions for its passengers.

Country Manager Sara Neergaard spoke to Danish broadcaster DR about it.

She said 200 Norwegian passengers missed flights on Thursday alone.

Another 30 passengers missed their departures on Friday morning.

Norwegian offers free rebooking for all affected travelers right now.

SAS spokesperson Kaoukji said queue conditions improved by Friday midday.

However, passenger traffic usually increases again later in the afternoon.

Airport communications chief Lise Agerley Kürstein spoke to TV 2.

She said the airport hopes for a solution early next week.
