SAS will launch service from Seattle to Copenhagen next May 21, offering five weekly nonstop flights next summer. This marks a milestone, as SAS resumes service between the two cities 57 years after its inaugural flight. SAS last served Seattle in 2009.
With Seattle added to the network, SAS will offer nonstop flights to 11 North American gateways, further enhancing its global connectivity from Copenhagen, serving as a key international gateway to and from Scandinavia and northern Europe.
Anko van der Werff, CEO, said the route from Copenhagen will provide more travel options for customers and strengthen the connection between Scandinavia and the Pacific Northwest, “a region of growing economic importance with deep Scandinavian roots.”
The addition, said van der Werff, “further expands our global reach and underscores our commitment to providing travelers with more direct route options.” Seattle, he said, has been a highly requested destination by customers.
Schedules for the service have been designed to maximize connectivity with the rest of the SAS network, offering seamless one-stop access to and from 39 European cities via Copenhagen. Key destinations such as Berlin, Helsinki, Milan, and Zurich will be among the cities benefiting from this enhanced connectivity, according to the announcement.
