Emirates has launched its Airbus A350 service to Oslo, marking the introduction of Premium Economy to Scandinavia for the first time. To celebrate this occasion, the airline hosted an event at Oslo Airport, where guests and media were welcomed to highlight its ongoing investment in the Norwegian market.

The A350 features Emirates’ new Business Class, Premium Economy, and Economy Class cabins, reflecting the airline’s focus on comfort and service across all travel classes. This launch represents a new stage in the airline’s operations in Norway.

Since 2014, Emirates’ daily service between Dubai and Oslo has become a key connection for both business and leisure travellers linking Norway to the UAE and the airline’s global network.

The event was attended by Emirates senior executives, including Pierfrancesco Carino, VP Commercial Operations North and West Europe, and Terje Grue, Country Manager Norway, alongside Majid Al Matrooshi from the Embassy of the UAE in Norway, Ståle Lien Hansen, Mayor of Ullensaker Municipality, and Dorothy Billett, SVP Terminal Operations at Avinor.

Terje Grue said, “We are pleased to bring the A350 and Premium Economy product to Norway. This is an important step in strengthening our presence in the market. Travellers from Oslo can now experience a new level of comfort on flights to Dubai and onward to destinations across Asia, Africa, and Australia.”
