Delta Airlines is set to open a new direct route from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) to Copenhagen Airport (CPH) in May 2025. This new service will run three times a week and aims to offer smoother access between the U.S. and Denmark, making it easier for travelers to reach Scandinavian destinations. With this addition, Delta now provides direct flights from MSP to seven major cities in Europe, further expanding its global reach.

This new connection is expected to streamline travel for passengers flying between the Midwest and Copenhagen, significantly reducing travel time by eliminating the need for layovers. For American travelers, Copenhagen becomes a more accessible gateway to explore Denmark and neighboring Scandinavian countries, creating more efficient travel options for both leisure and business purposes.

Travelers using this new route will have access to some of the most iconic attractions in Copenhagen, such as the Tivoli Gardens, the historic Nyhavn waterfront, and the striking architecture of Rosenborg Castle. The city is known for its cultural heritage and modern appeal, blending old-world charm with contemporary Scandinavian design. From Copenhagen, travelers can easily reach other scenic destinations in Denmark, including the UNESCO-listed Kronborg Castle or the beautiful coastal city of Aarhus.

Additionally, for those looking to explore further into Scandinavia, Copenhagen serves as a hub for flights to Norway and Sweden. The famous fjords of Norway or the rich history of Stockholm can now be reached more conveniently, thanks to Delta’s partnership with Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS), providing access to more destinations across the region.

This new route represents a significant boost for both leisure and business travelers. With easier access to the Scandinavian region, American tourists will benefit from seamless connections, while Scandinavian travelers visiting the U.S. can now explore a wider range of American destinations via Delta's hub in Minneapolis.

Overall, Delta's expansion of its European network reflects the increasing demand for international travel between the U.S. and Europe, offering travelers new opportunities to explore unique cultures and landscapes.
