Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) is set to expand its network in East Asia with the introduction of a direct route between Copenhagen Kastrup Airport and Seoul Incheon International Airport. The new service is expected to commence on September 12, 2025, pending final governmental approval. The airline plans to operate four weekly flights during the summer and three during the winter using Airbus A350 aircraft.
The move marks SAS's first direct connection between Scandinavia and South Korea, as no other airline currently offers such a route. This expansion aims to bolster Copenhagen's status as a hub for intercontinental travel. Anko van der Werff, President & CEO of SAS, commented on the development: "This new route highlights our commitment to meeting customer demand and enhancing connectivity between two dynamic regions. Seoul, renowned as a global center of culture, innovation, and business, is a strategic addition to our growing network."
SAS is part of the SkyTeam alliance and sees this new route as an opportunity to enhance connectivity from Scandinavia to key global destinations. Van der Werff added: "As a proud SkyTeam member, this route further strengthens the seamless connectivity we provide, linking Scandinavia to key destinations across the globe. We are excited to welcome passengers on board this landmark service."
