As of 6 June 2006, P15 will have 700 new parking spaces, and a ticket machine will be set up in the waiting room at the shuttlebus stop.
The Economy carpark will also function as a staff parking lot. For this reason, the sign may say the lot is full, even though you can see empty spaces. These spaces are reserved for airport staff, who work at different times of day.
Instructions
Drive to the P15 carpark. Check the sign to see if there are any long-term parking spaces available. If no long-term parking is available here, the sign will refer you to another carpark which is not full. At the gate, take a ticket from the automatic ticket machine. This will open the gate. Take the ticket with you on your trip and pay when you come home, either using the ticket machines in the terminal area or the P15 waiting room or using your credit card at the carpark exit gate when you leave.

Copenhagen Airport moves up on list of European airports with lowest charges
The level of charges airlines pay to fly out of Copenhagen Airport has gone down. A comparison of the level of charges at the 25 largest airports in Europe shows that Copenhagen Airport is now number nine on the list of airports with the lowest charges.
The charges airlines pay to use the facilities of Copenhagen Airport are among the lowest of major airports in Europe. Out of the 25 largest airports in Europe, Copenhagen is now ninth lowest, with lower charges than those of competitors such as London, Heathrow, Frankfurt and Stockholm.
This appears from an annual comparison of the level of charges at the largest international airports in the world made by Transport Research Laboratory (TRL), an international research institute. The institute has just presented a report showing the results for 2006.
"Now and then it is claimed that charges at Copenhagen Airport are far too high.
With the TRL’s objective comparison in our hands, we can once again reject that claim," said Niels Boserup, President and CEO of Copenhagen Airports A/S.
Charges reduced
Copenhagen Airport reduced its charges by 3% at the turn of the year, with the effect that the airport has moved from having the 12th lowest charges in Europe last year to 9th lowest this year.
The TRL compares the level of charges at 50 airports worldwide on the basis of the price of landing and taking off for eight common aircraft types with average passenger numbers. With few exceptions, the survey comprises all airports with more than 10 million international passengers per year.
The special Danish passenger tax which the Danish government decided to phase out last year is not included in the TRL comparison. For a number of years, this charge made it more expensive for airlines to fly out of Copenhagen than out of many competing airports, irrespective of the level of charges at CPH. At the beginning of 2006, this tax was reduced by half, and it will disappear completely from 2007, which further strengthens the position of Copenhagen Airport in the competition with other North European hubs.
