Live departure crowding at Copenhagen Kastrup Airport. A departure board tells you when flights leave. It cannot tell you that four of them leave within twenty minutes of each other, which is what actually fills a terminal.
The load curve is relative, not a headcount: every flight is weighted equally, so 100% is simply the busiest minute of the day shown. A day of small propliners and a day of full charters look the same — what the curve tells you is when the building fills up, not by how much. Times are shown in the airport's own timezone. Data refreshes every 5 minutes.
We have logged 10,187 departures from Copenhagen Kastrup over 28 days of recording, about 383 a day, reaching 187 destinations.
The busiest hour for departures is typically 08:00–09:00 in Copenhagen local time. Passengers for those flights are in the terminal for hours beforehand, which is what the curve above the board shows.
Departures are spread across 2 terminals: Terminal 2, Terminal 3. The board can be filtered to one.
From our own record of this airport's board, 2026-08-20 onwards. Updated continuously.
Each bar is one departing flight, drawn across the hours its passengers are inside the building: from when they typically turn up — three hours before departure, by default — until boarding closes half an hour before it. Both of those are yours to change. Where bars overlap, those passengers are in the terminal at the same time, and the curve underneath counts them minute by minute. Its highest point is the busiest moment of the day: the time to avoid, or the time to aim for if you would rather queue for nothing.
