According to the Danish consultancy Damvad Analytics, the new Chengdu-Copenhagen route will increase trade and investment opportunities between China and Denmark. It is estimated that the route will contribute to an increase in Denmark’s GDP for around 175 million DKK annually.

Director of Invest in Denmark Steen Hommel is pleased to welcome Sichuan Airlines to Denmark.

Next year, 330.000 seats will be available for direct flights between China and Denmark. That is an increase of 84 % compared to 2018. The improved connectivity will further enhance the business opportunities and tourist travel between the two countries and consequently create a significant positive impact on job creation and GDP on both sides.

Invest in Denmark and Copenhagen Capacity have actively worked together to attract the new route by providing Sichuan Airlines with advice and support in the process.

Anette Steenberg, Director of Investment Promotion at Copenhagen Capacity, is also enthusiastic about the potential the new routes bring.

Improved connectivity will support and increase further investment opportunities from China in the Greater Copenhagen area so we’re delighted to witness the opening of the new Copenhagen-Chengdu connection.
