One aircraft for now servicing three routes and they are all to secondary airports. But we will see, 10 more routes announced later next year.
I'm pretty sure Ryanair intends to have at least four cities served from CPH. It's going to eat into SK's traffic in material ways on some routes.
If it weren't for the Star Alliance affiliation and related benefits along with the FFP, SK will probably lose out even more and faster to Ryanair on some city pairs to/from CPH. But that "legacy carrier" basis alone won't solve SK's problems. SK is getting squeezed from multiple sides and can't say this Ryanair move into CPH is going to do SK any favors.
