Some passengers who landed at Copenhagen Airport on Friday evening faced the prospect of long waits before they could disembark, according to airport spokesperson Lars Lemche, as reported by TV2, due to strong winds. The airport is attempting to move aircraft to shelter positions from the wind, but this is not possible for all planes.
Overall, there were many delays and cancellations at the airport on Friday evening, and staff had prepared water and blankets for travelers who had to stay longer than expected at the airport and possibly overnight.
Some airlines cancelled all flights on Friday evening and will only resume operations on Saturday. Other aircraft continue to land and take off: “Air traffic will be severely affected until 11 p.m., so we will be dealing with some traffic later when the winds subside. This will depend on rest periods, which the flight crews, of course, must take into account,” says Lars Lemche, who encourages passengers to stay updated on the situation by checking the airport website, CPH.dk.
