Budget airline easyJet is considering establishing a base in Copenhagen from where to expand its operations, Copenhagen Post reported.
The news came less than a week after the airline added three weekly flights to Lisbon, easyJet's ninth destination from Kastrup Airport's low cost terminal, CPH GO.
The trade and investment minister, Pia Olsen Dyhr, announced that the airline was interested in Copenhagen after meeting with easyJet representatives recently in London.
“EasyJet is seriously considering Denmark as a site for establishing a larger base for their planes and creating jobs,” Dyhr said.
The message was echoed by easyJet’s regional general manager of northern Europe, Thomas Haagensen.
“Copenhagen is clearly in a group of airports that we are focussing on because of the potential for growth and expansion,” Haagensen told Politiken. “When you look at demand, Copenhagen fits well within our strategy.”
