...ways Ryanair and other discount airlines keep fares down is to use uncrowded regional airports, where they can turn their planes around in 25 minutes instead of 45. "We wouldn't fly to the likes of Charles de Gaulle, Heathrow or Copenhagen if you paid us," says O'Toole. "They're too congested. When you fly your aircraft there you are queueing in the clouds...
...frills carriers' fondness for remote airports, once a handicap, is becoming an attraction. Ryanair passengers may in the past have been disconcerted to discover that a flight to Copenhagen didn't actually land in the Danish capital, but instead flew into the Swedish city of Malm? with a 45-minute bus connection to Copenhagen.

Denmark offers a good example. Thanks to tax incentives and subsidized prices, the country now has 6,500 windmills. But since the government decided that wind power should be priced according to the market two years ago, construction of new turbines has fallen sharply. One of the beneficiaries of Denmark...

His first big break came in 1932, when he was assigned to photograph Trotsky as he spoke in a Copenhagen stadium on the meaning of the Russian Revolution. His pictures were the most dramatic of the day, writes Kershaw. Taken within a meter of so of Trotsky, they were intense, intimate and imperfect - the trademarks of the man who would become famous as Capa, or "shark" in Hungarian. As Nazi...
