Scandinavian Airlines SAS continues expanding its U.S. operations by launching non-stop flights between Copenhagen and Atlanta, bringing its network to 10 destinations in North America and providing customers greater access to their U.S. travel.
Flight Sk 929 was operated by an Airbus A330 registered as LN-RKS and christened “Frithiof Viking,” which took off from Copenhagen Airport at 13:25 local time on June 17 and on the same day landed at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport at 16:30, after nine hours and five minutes.
“SAS is pleased to expand its business and leisure travelers offering. Leisure travelers can explore Atlanta and several new destinations in the U.S., all conveniently accessible from Atlanta. Atlanta is a major hub for business travelers, home to numerous Fortune 500 companies, making it a lucrative and essential destination,” said Paul Verhagen, SAS Chief Commercial Officer.

- Copenhagen – Atlanta Flight SK 929 CPH 13:10 – ATL 17:10 daily flights.
- Atlanta – Copenhagen Flight SK 930 ATL 19:00 – CPH 10:20+1 daily flights.
Flights during the summer season are operated on Airbus A330-300 aircraft with 262/266 seats in total: 32 Business Class, 56 Premium Economy, and 174/178 Economy. In the winter, the aircraft will be replaced by the Airbus A350-900 with 300 seats in three classes: 40 Business Class, 32 Premium Economy, and 228 in Economy, with a schedule of five flights per week.
On September 1, 2024, SAS will join the Skyteam alliance. As Atlanta is the main hub for Skyteam member Delta Air Lines, SAS customers will benefit from greater access to the Skyteam network. This network includes 1,060 destinations among all member airlines.
SAS’ North American network also has year-round flights to Newark, Boston, Chicago O’Hare, Washington-Dulles, New York JFK, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, and seasonal services to Miami and Toronto-Pearson.
“Working closely with SAS will further strengthen Delta’s presence in Northern Europe, offering our customers better access to destinations,” said Alain Bellemare, Delta’s Executive Vice President.
