Emergency system test today at noon

·

Today at 12:00, Denmark will conduct a nationwide test of its mobile-based emergency alert system, S!RENEN. The system sends warnings to mobile phones in the event of serious accidents or disasters. During the test, many Danes may experience their phones emitting a loud alarm tone and vibrating until the message is acknowledged.

The alerts are transmitted via mobile towers to all newer devices with updated operating systems. S!RENEN is designed to notify people quickly and directly in specific danger zones, such as during fires, accidents, or other emergencies.

Authorities emphasize the importance of the system, as it allows them to reach the population instantly when urgent action is needed. The technology used, known as Cell Broadcast (CBC), delivers location-based messages with sound, text, and vibrations.

The system is operated by the Danish Emergency Management Agency, the National Police, and the Ministry of Defence.

    Billund Airport lost 100,000 passengers after Ryanair exit

    ·

    Ryanair’s decision to leave Billund Airport, cancelling all flights to and from it as retaliation against the Danish government’s flight tax, has had a visible effect on the airport’s traffic. According to a press release by Billund Airport, “In April alone, around 130,000 Ryanair passengers disappeared.” The company left Billund airport – the closest to Legoland – in March.

    “Overall, the expected decline in passenger numbers as a result of Ryanair’s exit became evident in April. The month ended with a decrease of 31.4 percent compared to the same period the year before,” the press release stated.

    “The level of passenger traffic we see in April matches very well our expectations for the coming months and the year as a whole. We have previously announced that we expect a decline of approximately 25–30 percent this year. That estimate probably still holds. We have had both skill and success in bringing in more capacity, but there are still destinations that both the travelers and we miss – and that we are working hard to be able to offer. For most airlines, the capacity for 2025 is already fully booked, so the focus is now on the summer of 2026, although we hope that 2025 can be supplemented with at least a few more routes,” says Jan Hessellund, CEO of Billund Airport.

    Hessellund’s hope is not mere optimism. According to the airport, “If we compare the figures excluding the traffic that Ryanair was responsible for, passenger numbers have increased by 4.5 percent in the first four months of the year. Our charter airlines increased by 11 percent, while the network airlines increased by as much as 17 percent.” In other words, Ryanair’s exit left a vacuum that may be filled—and is already beginning to be—over the coming years.

    A unified national Danish cat register for lost and found cats

    ·

    A new national cat register has been launched in Denmark, combining the two previous registers into one, now called the Danish Cat Register. The merger aims to make it easier to track lost cats and reunite them with their owners, as well as ensure no cat is overlooked or left unregistered.

    All cats previously registered in either of the two old registers will be transferred to the new system at no additional cost. Cat owners are required to validate their information in the new register using MitID to ensure their contact details are accurate in case their cat goes missing. Owners have two years to complete the process; after that, a fee of 145 DKK will apply per cat.

    The new system is intended to simplify registration for both cat owners and professionals such as veterinarians and shelters. It will also provide a clearer overview of the number of registered cats in Denmark, which could help in any future discussions about making microchipping and registration mandatory for all pet cats.

    Jens Jokumsen, chairman of The Danish Cat Register, said: “Far too many cats never find their way home again. We want to change that with the new register, which makes it easier to track and reunite domestic cats with their owners.”

    You can find the register here.
