Expanding its presence in Scandinavia, Emirates has announced that it will begin operating a daily flight to Sweden from 4 September 2013.
With strong bilateral trade links already in place, trade between the UAE and Sweden reached more than US$896 million in 2012, an increase of 4.3% from 2011. The 4,956 seats per week offered year-round by this new service are expected to further stimulate economic growth with Swedish trading cities across the Far East and Australasia.
“We have been closely evaluating options for further expansion in Scandinavia. Sweden, with its stable and growing economy complements the extension of our regional presence,” said Tim Clark, president Emirates Airline.
The route will be operated by a Boeing 777-300ER offering eight seats in First Class, 42 seats in Business Class and 304 seats in Economy Class.
