New Safety Checks Cause Long Queues at Copenhagen Airport
What happened
New safety checks implemented by Denmark's Civil Aviation and Railway Authority caused long queues at Copenhagen Airport on Thursday, and similar delays are expected on Friday. The authority stated that these temporary additional checks were identified through constant security requirement reviews. Passengers are advised to arrive two hours before departure for Schengen flights or three hours for non-Schengen travel.
