Emirates to Launch Flights to Copenhagen

Emirates will launch non-stop flights between Dubai and Copenhagen on 1 August 2011, the first time the airline has launched flights into Scandinavia.

"Emirates’ new service to Dubai is great news for all Scandinavian travellers. The daily year- round route strengthens the access, not only to the Middle East, but also South East Asia, India, and Australia due to Emirates’ extensive network," added Thomas Woldbye, CEO of Copenhagen Airports. “Secondly, Emirates’ network will, with certainty, bring more foreign travellers to Denmark for the benefit of Danish tourism and the business communities in the Oresund Region.”

Emirates will be operating an Airbus A330-200 on the Copenhagen route in a three-class configuration.

EK 151 will leave Dubai each day at 08:30 and arrive in Copenhagen at 13:10.

EK 152 departs Copenhagen at 14:55, arriving in Dubai at 23:15.

Copenhagen is the airline's 27th European destination and 114th globally. So far in 2011, Emirates has launched flights to Basra and Geneva. After Copenhagen, services to St Petersburg will be launched on 1 November followed by Baghdad on 13 November.
