As part of the route launches for the winter timetable 2013/14, SAS customers
will have direct access to the German city of Bremen and the oil region of
Humberside in northern England. This brings the total number of new routes for
SAS in 2013 up to 52. Furthermore, SAS’ direct route to Bangkok reopens in
November.
Autumn 2013 SAS customers will enjoy a direct route from Copenhagen to Bremen
and back six times a week. SAS is the only airline with a direct route between
Copenhagen and Bremen. In addition to the route to Bremen, SAS is launching a
direct route between Copenhagen and Humberside in the north of England, also
becoming the only airline to operate this route. Both routes are especially
attractive to business travelers, who will also have access to good onward
connections within the SAS network. Tickets for both routes have just gone on
sale.
“We look forward to offering our customers direct, easy access to destinations
that are currently not offered by other companies. Humberside and Bremen are
particularly important for business travelers, but we also expect that lots of
leisure travelers will visit these exciting cities,” says SAS Chief Commercial
Officer, Joakim Landholm.
More frequencies
Alongside its route launches, SAS is adding more weekly departures on key
routes. On the route between Copenhagen and Madrid, SAS is increasing from two
departures a week to four (Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday).
SAS is also adding more frequencies to the winter timetable on the popular
routes between Scandinavia’s capital cities – Copenhagen and Stockholm as well
as Copenhagen and Oslo. During high traffic periods, SAS is increasing the
number of daily departures from 15 to 16 on both routes.
“Our customers, who travel frequently, appreciate the option to choose from
several daily and weekly departures. We aim to be the Scandinavian airline that
offers the most daily flights to favorite destinations, and one of the ways in
which we will do this is once again to invest in the Copenhagen-Stockholm-Oslo
triangle,” says Joakim Landholm.
Bangkok route reopens
When the peak season for travel to Asia begins, SAS will be reopening the route
between Copenhagen and Bangkok, initially with three departures a week,
increasing to four when demand is greatest.
The SAS winter timetable 2013/14 comes into effect on the last weekend in
October.
