Emirates Opens Copenhagen Link

EMIRATES AIRLINE is to launch direct services between Dubai and Copenhagen from August 1, its 112th international destination and 27th in Europe. Like most of its new routes, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) carrier will use an Airbus A330-200 on the daily link, configured in a low density, three-class seating arrangement but from 01FEB12 it is scheduled to be upgraded to a Boeing 777-200ER.

“Copenhagen is an important hub for the whole of Scandinavia and the launch of our non-stop service will open up a new market for Emirates. It will also offer Denmark’s businesses with easy connections to previously untapped markets," said His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive, Emirates Airline & Group.

“Dubai and Copenhagen both have a strong maritime and trading tradition and Emirates is looking forward to adding this dynamic city to our European network and also welcoming Denmark as the 67th country that we fly to from Dubai.”
