Emirates planes in Dubai

Dubai airfreight specialist Emirates is set to add a new European country to its growing network, with the introduction of non-stop daily flights to Copenhagen in Denmark.

The service, which begins on 1 August this year, will mark the introduction of the 112th international destination to Emirates' portfolio, and its 27th European destination.

'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,' said Sheikh Ahmed bin Saaed Al-Maktoum, chairman and CEO of Emirates Group. 'It will also offer Denmark's businesses with easy connections to previously untapped markets.

'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,' he added.
