Copenhagen Airport railway station (Danish: Københavns Lufthavn Station) is a railway station in Tårnby, Denmark, serving Copenhagen Airport.[1] It is located below ground directly under the check-in and arrival area in the airport's Terminal 3.

The station is served by DSB’s regional trains including the Øresundtrain network. The nearby Lufthavnen metro station is served by the Copenhagen Metro’s line M2. The stations take their names from Copenhagen Airport, to which they are connected. It is located in fare zone 4.

History

[edit]

The station opened on 27 September 1998, and was subsequently reconstructed and reopened on 28 September 2007, with a connection to the Copenhagen Metro opening the following month.

Temporarily from 4 January 2016 to 4 May 2017, Sweden required train and bus transport companies entering Sweden to perform full identity check of every passenger, because of the European migrant crisis.[2] For that reason the Southern platform was used only for departures to Sweden, with border checks at openings in fence erected along the platform. All arrivals and all departures to Denmark used the Northern platform. Only the regional trains towards Helsingør and Sweden used Copenhagen Airport station, all other trains did not go here during this period.

Future developments

[edit]

There is a decision to build platforms at the two tracks placed north of the existing station. These tracks are so far used for freight trains.[3] This will be finished in 2026.[4]

Metro station
