SAS is introducing a route to Seattle, offering five weekly direct flights from Copenhagen as part of its summer 2025 schedule. This marks a milestone, as SAS resumes service between the two cities 57 years after its inaugural flight.
With Seattle added to the network, SAS will offer nonstop flights to 11 North American gateways, further enhancing its global connectivity from Copenhagen Airport, serving as a key international gateway to and from Scandinavia and Northern Europe.
According to SAS, Seattle is one of the wealthiest cities in the U.S. and has maintained deep connections with Scandinavia dating back to the early 1900s. These ties have been shaped by waves of Nordic immigrants who brought their culture, skills and entrepreneurial spirit to the region, leaving a lasting impact on the city's identity and economy.
Copenhagen-Seattle flights will start operations on May 21. Schedules have been designed to maximize connectivity with the rest of the SAS Network, offering 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.
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport handled 50.9 million passengers in 2023 and passenger traffic at the airport is expected to continue growing.
Seattle is the first of several new routes that SAS will announce soon.
