Emirates launches non-stop daily service to Copenhagen
Dubai, Aug 2, 2011 (WAM) - Emirates airlines launched yesterday its non-stop daily service to Copenhagen, thus entering into the brand new territory of Scandinavia. Aboard the inaugural EK 151 from Dubai were Richard Vaughan, the airline's Divisional Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations Worldwide; Salem Obaidalla, Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations, Europe '&' Russian Federation; Pradeep Kumar, Senior Vice President, Cargo Revenue Optimisation '&' Systems and Luc Delcomminette, Vice President, Arabian Adventures.
Their guests on the first flight included Claus Rubenius, founder of RUBENIUS; Jens Lund, Chairman of the Danish Business Council in Dubai; Lars Oestergaard Nielsen, Managing Director, Maersk Kanoo (UAE) and an international media group.
"Copenhagen brings a new and exciting dimension to the Emirates' network," said Richard Vaughan, Emirates' Divisional Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations Worldwide. "Emirates' passengers from Scandinavia no longer need to travel to Germany to join our flights. They can travel directly from the Danish capital all the way to the Far East and Australasia, via our ultra-modern hub in Dubai".
The Dubai-Copenhagen route, the airline's 114th destination, will be served by an A330-200 in a three-class configuration. Up to 17 tonnes of cargo can be carried in the belly-hold of each flight.
In the cargo hold going into Copenhagen yesterday were garments, fruit and vegetables from the Indian subcontinent. On Emirates' first flight out of Denmark, pharmaceuticals are being exported to Australia and the Middle East, along with seafood bound for the Far East.
After touching down in Denmark under the command of Danish Captain, Lars Schoyen, Copenhagen Airport arranged for a water cannon salute before the VIP delegation joined a welcoming reception inside the terminal. Teddy Zebitz, Emirates' Area Manager Nordic Countries, led the proceedings, attended by Sheikha Najla Al Qasimi, the UAE's Ambassador to Sweden; Per Tangsgaard Jensen, Danish Consul General to Dubai, Copenhagen Airports and other guests from the travel, business and aviation sectors. - Emirates News Agency, WAM
