Dubai: The first flight from the Danish capital, Copenhagen, marked the resumption of the second Dubai-Copenhagen season of SAS Scandinavian Airlines, the carrier in Northern Europe, as it landed at 6:35 am on October 30, 2008 at the Dubai International Airport.

"SAS Scandinavian Airlines' second season of the Dubai-Copenhagen service has resumed to provide business and leisure travelers a thrice-weekly, non-stop flight to Copenhagen and excellent onward connections into Northern Europe at competitive prices," Anna Lyczak-Czepukojc, UAE General Manager, Scandinavian Airlines, said.
The first flight from Dubai to Copenhagen under an improved schedule of Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays took off from Dubai International Airport at 9:05 am on October 30, 2008 and arrived at the Copenhagen airport at exactly 1:15 pm (Copenhagen time) on the same day.
