Emirates is set to add a new European country to its expanding route network when it launches direct daily flights to Copenhagen on 1 August 2011.
The Danish capital, which attracts 1.3 million tourists a year, will become the Emirates’ 112th international destination and its 27th destination in Europe.
“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 HH 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.”
Starting 1 August 2011, flight EK 151 will leave Dubai each day at 8.30am and arrive in Copenhagen at 1.10pm. From Copenhagen, EK 152 departs at 2.55pm, arriving in Dubai at 11.15pm.
Emirates will be operating an Airbus A330-200 on the Copenhagen route in a three-class configuration. Passengers on Emirates’ flights also have the added baggage allowance of 30kg for Economy Class, 40kg for Business Class and 50 kg for First Class.
Copenhagen will be the third new route announced by Emirates for 2011, following Basra on 2 February and Geneva on 1 June.
