København/Kastrup Airport (EKCH)

Kastrup (Copenhagen EKCH) is accessible for general aviation, though procedures and costs require careful planning. Handling is compulsory, with ASE Handling offering the first three hours of parking free in the VIP area and a per-hour charge thereafter; this option can be more economical for short visits. Example: landing and handling about €450. The airport environment demands readiness for complex instructions and higher approach speeds (e.g., 210 knots initially, then 160 knots to 4 DME on arrival), so familiarity with airport briefing documents is essential. TOBT (Target Off Block Time) procedures apply, requiring coordination with the handling agent for start-up approval timing.

After handling, access to the city is efficient: a 5–10 minute walk through the terminals leads to the metro, which takes about 12 minutes to central Copenhagen. Facilities include access to a lounge for refreshments and efficient fuel service. Customs procedures are handled by the agent, sometimes involving car transfer directly from parking to the terminal. Procedures vary; see AIP/NOTAM.
