Emirates launches A380 services to Copenhagen

The launch of Emirates’ A380 to Copenhagen, one of the most environmentally advanced aircraft in the sky,comes almost four years after the airline first linked the Danish capital with Dubai. The route will be served by the world’s first two-class configured A380, with a capacity of 615 passengers. With this new configuration, Emirates will offer a total of 8,610 seats a week between Copenhagen and Dubai. The aircraft also produces the lowest CO2 emissions per passenger kilometre of all commercial aeroplanes. 

“After launching the route with an A330, we witnessed growing demand for flights to and from Copenhagen, forcing us to deploy the larger 777 after only six months. Today, based on strong load factors, we are happy to further up-gauge the route to our iconic double-decker, the A380,” commented Sir Tim Clark, president, emirates Airline. “Emirates is making history with this aircraft, its fuel efficiency is better than most modern small passenger cars in terms of fuel economy per passenger kilometre, allowing us to reduce emissions without compromising on comfort,” added Clark.
