Lauritzen Terminal
Copenhagen Airport opened this terminal in 1939. It was designed by Danish architect Vilhelm Lauritzen and in use until 1960. In order to create space for new terminal buildings, the railway and a hotel, the old 4000-square-meter building was moved 3.8 kilometers to the western side of the airport area in 1999 and restored to its original design.

Recipients of the 2008 Hall of Fame Award: Delford M. Smith, Chairman of the Board, Evergreen International Aviation
