CPH is buying up competitors from airport to parking lots to secure their income.

I could see MU replace CA and maybe we will see KE aswell.
EY just started operations to CPH and they have recently announced a collaboration with AF/KLM. Maybe Etihad will be the new go-to airline for the nordics for Asia/Australia. Time will tell I guess
I think CA will remain at CPH - possibly operates like AI, 3 days CPH, 4 days ARN. It's important to have a direct route to the capital of China. I'm curious how EY will perform without elites patronizing them. They get a lot of happy one time customers (it doesn't take much to be better than any EU airline), but their unwillingness to status match other airlines FFP is killing themselves.

With CPH, that serves Sweden as well without having to pass CPH and say hi and bye to CPH en route use RKE — and that is is going to act as a reminder of “CPH, next time” for the Sweden-based users.
Isn't that for almost all Swedish airports except ARN? I don't think GOT has train going there, Kiruna has the most expensive bus ride ever 350kr for a 10minutes ride.
