The A380 plane of Emirates, the world's largest passenger plane, landed in Copenhagen, Denmark for the first time since March 2020.
Emirates is the only international airline operating the A380 to Denmark, and the intriguing landing occurred just in time for the 100th anniversary celebrations of Copenhagen's airport.
