Emirates has introduced its Airbus A350 service to Oslo, expanding its offerings in the Norwegian market. The new aircraft features updated interiors across Business Class, Premium Economy, and Economy Class.
The airline began daily flights between Dubai and Oslo in 2014. This route has become popular for both business and leisure travelers connecting Norway with the United Arab Emirates and other destinations on Emirates’ network.
At an event marking the launch of the A350 service, several Emirates executives attended, including Pierfrancesco Carino, Vice President Commercial Operations North and West Europe, and Terje Grue, Country Manager Norway. Other attendees included Majid Al Matrooshi from the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates in Norway, Ståle Lien Hansen, Mayor of Ullensaker Municipality, and Dorothy Billett, Senior Vice President Terminal Operations at Avinor.
Terje Grue stated: “We are thrilled to bring the A350 and our Premium Economy product to Norway. This is an important step in strengthening our presence in the market. Travellers from Oslo will now be able to enjoy an entirely new level of comfort, whether flying to Dubai or onwards to our many destinations across Asia, Africa, and Australia.”
The introduction of Premium Economy aims to provide more accessible luxury travel options. The cabin offers a 40-inch seat pitch, 8-inch recline, adjustable headrests, full leg and footrests. Seats are upholstered in cream leather with fold-out woodgrain tables suitable for dining or working.
Additional amenities include in-seat charging points, side cocktail tables, a 13.3-inch TV screen per seat, large pillows and blankets, complimentary amenity kits on select flights, and Chandon Vintage Brut 2017 sparkling wine.
Key partners from travel agencies as well as operational partners and media representatives were present at the event. After the arrival of the aircraft in Oslo, guests toured the new plane’s features during a static display at the airport.
