SAS will place its A321LR on the Copenhagen to Boston route.
In a statement released on Friday, Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) published its plans to expand flights to the United States, including the debut of the Airbus A321LR. The Copenhagen Airport (CPH)-based carrier says that it will finally be operating all of its American routes when it returns to Boston and Miami in the fall. Flights to Boston will resume in September, followed by Miami in October.
Flights will increase to LAX, SFO, and IAD
When SAS introduces its Airbus A321LR on this Boston route, it will also increase the number of flights it offers from Copenhagen to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), San Francisco International Airport (SFO), and Dulles International Airport (IAD). When speaking about the USA flights in a company statement, acting CEO of SAS Karl Sandlund said:
“We are delighted to improve the connectivity for both passengers and air freight to and from Scandinavia from all three capitals as the demand increases. From September 2, SAS will reintroduce the route, Stockholm-New York, in addition to the current direct routes from Copenhagen and Oslo.”
