Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) inaugurated its non-stop flights from Aalborg (AAL) and Gothenburg (GOT) to Newark (EWR). The carrier continues to expand its services between Scandinavia and the New York metropolitan area.
The new SAS routes are operated on Airbus A321LR aircraft with 157 seats in three classes (22 Business Class/12 Premium Economy/123 Economy). In addition both services will return for the 2024 summer season.

“It is really great to see our first direct flight between Aalborg and New York take off today.
