The Star Alliance member SAS will wake up from the “corona sleep” on June 1st, 2020. Flight operations are to be resumed in stages.
Like many other competitors, the Scandinavian SAS is celebrating its comeback next month. Starting on June 1, the carrier will gradually resume flight operations. First, the business wants to revive within the Scandinavian peninsula before international destinations are served.
From Stockholm there are connections to and from Malmö, Ängelholm, Kalmar and Skellefteå. In addition, air traffic to Helsinki and Turku (Finland) is to be resumed. In Norway, where SAS already serves all domestic destinations, it is now possible to fly from Bergen and Stavanger to Copenhagen and from Stavanger to Aberdeen. From Copenhagen you can pick up long haul destinations - Amsterdam, New York and Chicago.
In addition, the fleet size will be doubled from 15 to 30 machines just in time for the restart. "In addition to the routes that are now being added to the flight program, SAS plans to offer more connections as the measures in many countries are relaxed again and the demand for travel in Scandinavia and around the world increases," said the press release.
