Assistance Centre

The Assistance Centre is located centrally in the airport and is the core of the Copenhagen Airport’s disability service.


One of the tasks of the Assistance Centre is to collect and coordinate all bookings by persons with reduced mobility (PRMs). The Assistance Centre is also a waiting room for PRMs in transit or awaiting assistance.

The Assistance Centre has been designed in close collaboration with the Disabled Peoples Organisations in Denmark (DPOD) and the Danish Building Research Institute (SBI).

Toilet facilities

The toilet in the Assistance Centre is nine square meters and the door width is 1.10 meter. In addition to the toilet and wash basin, the toilet has a shower and a bench.
