SAS Building Global Hub in Scandinavia

Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) has announced an extensive expansion from Copenhagen Airport starting with the summer traffic program for 2025. This move will position the main hub as a key international gateway to and from Scandinavia and Northern Europe. Today, SAS presents 15 new routes from Copenhagen, including a new long-haul route to Seattle. Adding several new direct flights from Copenhagen to popular European and Intercontinental destinations will support greater growth for both SAS and all of Scandinavia as a global hub.

The new routes introduced in the summer schedule for 2025 are Krakow, Madrid, Budapest, Lyon, Valencia, Malta, Bucharest, Milan Linate, Seville, Turku, Billund, Kristiansand, Harstad/Narvik and Bodø. Furthermore, there will be a frequency increase on 15 of the existing routes, including key destinations such as Stockholm, Oslo, Prague, Berlin and Helsinki.

With the recent entry into SkyTeam, SAS is focusing on global reach and will continue to develop Copenhagen as its main hub for international travel. Copenhagen’s location in continental Europe allows for efficient same-day travel across Northern, Central and Western Europe. The hub will also serve as a key transit point for long-haul travel, connecting Europe with North America and Asia.

SAS continues to offer robust services from Oslo and Stockholm. Oslo Gardemoen will maintain up to 125 daily departures to more than 60 destinations, focusing on regional and European travel. Additionally, starting in the summer of 2025, SAS will introduce a new seasonal route between Oslo and New York (JFK), enhancing transatlantic connectivity.

Stockholm Arlanda Airport, with more than 70 direct routes and 120 daily departures, will remain an important gateway for European and intercontinental travel, supported by the airline’s newly announced partnership with Braathens Regional Airways which will optimize regional air services.

Supporting the company’s sustainability goals, new routes will utilize fuel-efficient, modern aircraft, reducing emissions while expanding the network.
