Long Security Queues Cause Flight Delays at Copenhagen Airport

Passengers flying from Copenhagen Airport face long queues at security.

More than 350 passengers rebooked their flights with SAS.

Another 230 travellers missed their flights on Norwegian.

Airlines advise passengers to arrive at the airport earlier than usual.

The delays stem from extra checks by Denmark's aviation authority Trafikstyrelsen.

The authority carries out regular safety checks at the airport.

Recent checks revealed issues that required temporary extra security steps.

The authority did not state the exact reasons for the extra checks.

Both SAS and Norwegian reported over 500 affected passengers in total.

Norwegian reported 200 missed flights on Thursday and 30 on Friday.

SAS stated that queue conditions improved by Friday afternoon.

Airport officials hope to solve the issue early next week.
