Scandinavian Airlines SAS lands in Canada

Scandinavian Airlines SAS expands its North American network with two new services to Canada from Denmark and Sweden. SAS will offer from Toronto (YYZ) three flights per week to Copenhagen (CPH) and four flights per week to Stockholm (ARN).

On June 2, flight SK 949 took off from the Danish capital at 12:53 local time bound for Canada’s main city, for the following day it will begin operations at Arlanda International Airport (ARN).

Toronto is the fourth largest city in North America and an international center for finance and business. SAS will offer 2,198 seats per week between Scandinavia and Canada.

We are pleased to be able to offer direct routes between Canada and Scandinavia and fly to Toronto with our newest aircraft model. By using the A321LR, we can offer connections to more parts of the world, and the aircraft is well suited to the Scandinavian market and the developed travel patterns to and from the region, says Anko van der Werff, president and CEO of SAS.

SAS strives to be a world leader in sustainable aviation. As we continue to add new fuel-efficient aircraft, such as the A321LR, we now have one of the most modern fleets in Europe. This new state-of-the-art aircraft will provide our customers with a more enjoyable, more comfortable, and more sustainable way to travel, Van der Werff added.

The flights will be operated on Airbus A321LR aircraft with 157 seats in three classes (22 Business Class/12 Premium Economy/123 Economy). Thanks to this new aircraft, SAS has been able to start new long-haul routes, where a wide-body aircraft can be too large to operate.
