Long queues expected at Copenhagen Airport throughout the weekend

Travelers at Copenhagen Airport face long security queues throughout this weekend.

You should arrive two hours early for Schengen flights.

You need three hours for non-Schengen flights.

The long waiting times began on Thursday morning.

Security queues were around thirty minutes long on Friday morning.

Reporters noted queues reaching the airport metro station at seven in the morning.

The airport warned passengers to prepare for long delays.

The delays stem from extra security checks required by Danish authorities.

The Civil Aviation and Railway Authority ordered these temporary controls after recent inspections.

The authority did not state the specific reason for these new checks.

Airport officials expect the extra controls to last through the weekend at least.

Copenhagen Airport serves travelers across Denmark and southern Sweden.

Autumn school holidays in Sweden start next week.

This holiday travel could make the airport even busier than usual.
