Copenhagen Airports' Majority Ownership Transfers to Macquarie and PensionDanmark
Copenhagen Airports A/S has seen a significant change in ownership. The Danish State, which previously held a majority stake, has sold its shares to a consortium consisting of Macquarie Asset Management and PensionDanmark. This transaction, finalised on 30 September 2025, has resulted in the consortium now holding about 55% of the airport's shares.
The Danish State's sale of its stake in Copenhagen Airports A/S was approved by the European Commission on 16 July 2025. The new majority owners, Macquarie Asset Management and PensionDanmark, have communicated their intention to focus on the sustainable development of the airport and support Danish infrastructure.
Macquarie Asset Management is an international investment firm based in Australia, while PensionDanmark is a large Danish pension fund. Together, they now control approximately 55% of CPH's shares. The transaction was first announced in 2024, with the exact date varying slightly depending on the source.
Following the completion of this acquisition, Copenhagen Airports A/S will hold an extraordinary general meeting to elect new board members, reflecting the change in ownership. The Danish State, now holding about 98.6% of the airport, aims to ensure a strong international airport that significantly contributes to Denmark's global connectivity.
