Copenhagen Airport is where most international private flights to Denmark end up, and it is one of the tightest on slots. Private jet charter at Copenhagen Airport runs through ASE Handling's FBO, with customs and immigration around the clock and a 3,571 metre runway.
Every private flight needs an approved slot, and a handling agent is compulsory. Night-time restrictions apply between 23:00 and 06:00 local.
Charter-A requests the slot and handling for you and will confirm both at booking. Central Copenhagen is about 21 minutes away by car, and handling by an agent is compulsory.
