Total international traffic increased 6.3 per cent in August, with an boost in passenger numbers from China, Japan and Korea driving the growth.

MAp's Copenhagen Airport reported double digit traffic growth in August, 2.1 million passengers travelled through the airport representing a 12.9 per cent gain, while Brussels Airport posted a 2.4 per cent rise.
