The Copenhagen Airport Kastrup has become a place, an island in between Sweden and Denmark. It is located 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) south of Copenhagen city centre.
Man and woman who just arrived from a nice vacation stand there and wonder:
The Copenhagen Airport Kastrup has become a place, an island in between Sweden and Denmark. It is now a visible border between those two countries, but in one direction only.
Another man standing with his colleague:
According to a real case on March 15 2017: Sending an application for compensation because of train problems between Denmark and Sweden resulted in rejection.
Skånetrafiken in Sweden does not seem to care so much. Their customer care is bad. They have no understanding when it is about their daily or even other passengers. According to a real case on March 15 2017, after sending an application for compensation because of train problems between Denmark and Sweden the person who sent it to Skånetrafiken simply got a rejection because he sent many applications for the same issue. The application was sent for 2 trips and one of them was rejected because the problem "never happened" even though this passenger missed both trips - both from Copenhagen central station to the Airport and both from the Airport to Sweden. It never happened simply because the passenger did not put his passenger card on to a card reader on the train platform.
Since Kastrup still is a border between Sweden and Denmark we can see queues where people are waiting for the train. Many of all those people already have learned when and where the train will come and go so there is a very established routine.
The Copenhagen Airport Kastrup has become a place, an island in between Sweden and Denmark. We can see queues where people are waiting for the train every day.
In many cases there are no problems with all those ID checks on the border but we can agree about that train problems can cause more problems because they often are reason for growing queues where people desperately try to come om board a train.
The Copenhagen Airport Kastrup has become a place, an island in between Sweden and Denmark. We can see queues where people are waiting for the train, every day.
Finally, is Kastrup a no man's land or not? You can decide it. This reportage just described this airport as a specific place that is a visible border between Sweden and Denmark today in European Union.

Kastrup - a no man's land
Kastrup - a no man's land: Almost a decade in the train. One day satisfaction, another dissatisfaction and anger. The Copenhagen Airport has become a place, an island in between Sweden and Denmark. It is now a visible border between those two countries, but in one direction only. Almost a decade in the train. One day satisfaction, another dissatisfaction and anger. Then again, you are very happy when your train is in time and when everything flows just fine, just as you and all other people dream about. A perfection that makes us happy and satisfied. Suddenly everything dies another day when everything is opposite to what you just experience. One and only chaos with anything that has with train traffic to do kills every positive feeling that you have built up during one or some days ago. Sad and frustrated people on the airport. The anger is huge, especially when talking about people traveling every day. People who experience those repeating problems from day to day. It appears as there is no one responsible. No one takes care about the problem! Swedish and Danish Transport Administrations (Trafikverket) together with Skånetrafiken in Sweden and DSB in Denmark should be responsible for every kind of chaos that all passengers are exposed to but the question is how much do they care? The Copenhagen Airport Kastrup has become a place, an island in between Sweden and Denmark. It is now a visible border between those two countries, but in one direction only. The airport is located on the island of Amager, just 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) south of Copenhagen city centre, and 24 kilometres (15 mi) west of Malmö city centre via the Øresund Bridge. The airport covers an area of 11.8 square kilometres. Most of the airport is situated in the municipality of Tårnby, with a small portion in the city of Dragør. (More about the Airport you can read at Wikipedia and CPH Airport website. )

Man and woman who just arrived from a nice vacation stand there and wonder:
- Why is the train cancelled? When is next coming? - In 20 minutes... But we have been waiting in 20 minutes already... - Oh god, I am freezing I just want to come home.

Another man standing with his colleague:
- They are idiots, seriously! This week the train has been delayed three times! - Yeah, yesterday no trains came and we had to wait for buses instead! - Its crazy... I guess the buses also where delayed. - Of course! I will apply for compensation...
