Copenhagen Airport pulled no punches in its annual report issued 03 Mar 2020, admitting that it is under pressure, with recent investments of around DKK2 billion a year being "substantially higher" than its earnings.

...the annual report reveals that the business of Copenhagen Airport A/S is under growing pressure, and about DKK2 billion has been invested annually in recent years to develop the airport....In addition, traffic at the airport was affected by [a number of] bankruptcies, a seven-day strike by SAS pilots and by Norwegian's new strategy of focusing on profitability rather than growth. 

Supported by SAS, Norwegian and DAT, CPH wants to relocate the rarely used third runway – the cross-wind runway. This, it says, will free up space for the modern fuel-efficient and less noisy aircraft types of the future...According to its new master plan, CPH will develop the airport within the current area, with all facilities under one roof and with the shortest possible walking distances to gates and public transport.
