Copenhagen Airport halted flight traffic over the airport for about half an hour this morning after a short power outage combined with fog. Several aircraft landed with delays, and two flights were redirected to Malmö Airport in Sweden, the airport said, according to Ekstra Bladet and Berlingske.
Traffic is back to normal.
"We experienced a short power outage this morning. In combination with fog it meant that we stopped flight traffic for about half an hour. Safety is always our first priority," airport traffic chief Samuel Rude told DR.
Denmark's Consumer Ombudsman ruled that electricity company Kärnfull Energi misled customers by marketing "100 percent nuclear power" and "100 percent certified nuclear electricity". All electricity is mixed in the grid, so a supplier cannot promise that power in the socket comes from a specific source. Kärnfull Energi's own website stated the agreement was based on origin guarantees, information the ombudsman said should have been as visible as the marketing.
"Electricity companies naturally cannot promise consumers that they get electricity produced from a specific energy source in the socket, since all electricity is mixed in the grid," consumer ombudsman Torben Jensen said. The case followed a complaint from Forbrugerrådet Tænk over marketing at 16 electricity companies. Kärnfull Energi received a notice in September 2025 and later told the ombudsman it had removed or reformulated the statements.
Police warned that criminals are reading online death announcements to find elderly people in grief and then calling them. The National Unit for Special Crime, NSK, said scammers tell survivors they have inheritance, excess tax or pension from the deceased to be paid out, then ask for card number, expiry date and the three-digit security code before approval with MitID.
"The scammers use information from death announcements, including family members' names and details about the death or the funeral, to appear credible and manipulate the bereaved," said vice police inspector Allan Lørup. Victims are typically aged 80 to 90. Police are carrying out an initial investigation.
