“It’s an exhilarating time as global travel reawakens. We’re delighted to expand our horizons this winter and bring Agadir, a jewel of Africa, into our network. This marks our return to the African skies after a significant absence“, expressed Erik Westman, EVP & CCO, Network and Revenue Management.
As per the data sourced from Cirium, SAS last took to Africa’s skies in April 2006 with a direct service between Copenhagen (CPH) and Cairo (CAI), leveraging Airbus A321s.
