Norwegian Criticises Copenhagen Airport Over Long Queues

Norwegian Airlines has criticized Copenhagen Airport over long queues. The low-cost carrier is unhappy with summer passport control delays. Many passengers faced long waiting times at border control. The airline said it might prioritize Billund Airport in the future.

• Norwegian criticized passport delays at Copenhagen Airport.
• The airline may shift future flight focus to Billund Airport.
• Delays specifically affect non-Schengen routes needing border control.
• Passengers flying outside the Schengen area should allow extra time.

Norwegian is a key low-cost airline in the Nordic region. It operates many popular routes from Copenhagen Airport. Losing Norwegian flights could lower cheap travel choices for Copenhagen residents. Billund Airport is in Jutland, about three hours away by train.

Passport queues mainly affect flights leaving the Schengen area. Local Chinese residents flying to China or the UK pass these checks. Flights within the Schengen zone do not require passport checks. Non-Schengen travelers should prepare for longer wait times during peak periods.

Travelers should check flight updates before leaving home. Allow extra time at border control for non-Schengen flights.
