Jan 20, 2011 (newstodate): At long last: Emirates is finally adding Denmark to its route map as its 67th country served!
Effective from August 1, 2011, Emirates will introduce daily flights between Dubai and Copenhagen Airport, using Airbus A330-200 aircraft on the route.
Besides the passenger market, Emirates' decision to launch flights to Denmark will also have an impact on the airfreight markets, where ScanPartners serves as the carrier's GSA in Scandinavia and Finland.
Emirates first mulled plans to launch flights on the route from October 2005, later setting October 3, 2006, as the launch date with four weekly A330-200 flights, increasing to daily operations from October 29, 2006.
These plans were, however, repeatedly shelved for various reasons, including shortage of capacity.
