The event was presented by Danish actress, Sidse Babett Knudson, with headline entertainment from Danish pop sensation, Medina.During the evening, guests had the chance to see elements of the airline’s flagship A380 aircraft with a replica Onboard Shower Spa, Onboard Lounge and First Class Private Suite on display.Earlier in the day, the Danish media met with Richard Vaughan, Emirates’ divisional senior vice president, Commercial Operations Worldwide; Salem Obaidalla, senior vice president, Commercial Operations, Europe & Russian Federation and Pradeep Kumar, senior vice president, Cargo Revenue, Optimisation and Systems. The media gathering was also attended by the newly appointed country manager for Emirates in Denmark, Teddy Zebitz, along with representatives from Wonderful Copenhagen and Copenhagen Airport. “This new service is our first venture into Scandinavia and flights to Copenhagen will open up a new region on our growing network, connecting passengers and cargo to our state of the art hub in Dubai. We are now five weeks from the launch and into the final stages of preparations,” said Vaughan.Emirates will be operating an Airbus A330-200 on the Copenhagen route in a three-class configuration.
