SAS has reintroduced flights from Copenhagen to Seattle, marking a significant step in its expansion into the US market. The airline, which had previously served Seattle until 2009, is launching several transatlantic routes this month. This move comes as SAS continues to expand its network after joining SkyTeam in September 2024.
The new route to Seattle will operate five times weekly using the Airbus A350-900 aircraft. The last flight of the season is scheduled for October 24, before SAS and other northern carriers transition to their winter schedules.
SAS's current US network includes ten airports with varying frequencies. Notably, routes such as Copenhagen to Boston and Washington Dulles switch from widebody aircraft in summer to narrowbody in winter. This adjustment allows the airline to maintain frequency while managing seat availability during off-peak seasons.
