September 12 marks a milestone in the history of Scandinavian Airlines (SAS)<\/strong>. The airline has launched its first non-stop service between Scandinavia and Korea, with flights departing from Copenhagen to Seoul. This unprecedented connection will strengthen ties between the two destinations and open new opportunities for both business travelers and tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The schedule has been designed with late-evening departures, optimizing connections within Europe and allowing for better use of time at the destination. The route will be operated using the Airbus A350, a state-of-the-art aircraft that carries approximately 300 passengers and stands out for its fuel efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frequencies and Route Expansion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new link will operate four times per week during the fall and will reduce to three weekly frequencies in the winter season. However, the market’s positive response has led the company to plan a 50% capacity increase starting in June 2026, reaching up to six weekly flights during the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is an exciting day for SAS and our passengers. With our inaugural flight to Seoul, we are not only responding to strong customer demand but also strengthening the bonds between Scandinavia and one of Asia\u2019s most dynamic hubs. Seoul is a global benchmark for culture, innovation, and business, and we are proud to add it to our growing intercontinental network,\u201d said Anko van der Werff, President and CEO of SAS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Copenhagen Expansion Strategy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With this new route, SAS now offers 14 intercontinental routes from Copenhagen, reinforcing its strategy of developing the Danish capital as a top-tier global hub and Scandinavia\u2019s main gateway to the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
