SAS expands network with new routes from Copenhagen for summer 2026

The launch of flights to Mumbai had been delayed due to a lack of widebody aircraft and the closure of Russian airspace. Alongside this route, SAS will begin flights from Copenhagen to Istanbul (daily), Riga (three daily), Luxembourg (two daily), Bordeaux (twice weekly), Marseille (twice weekly during peak season), and Visby (three times weekly during peak season).

In spring 2026, two short-haul routes will also be introduced: twice-weekly flights between Stockholm and Madrid starting March 29 and twice-weekly service between Oslo and Hamburg beginning March 30. Additionally, three current seasonal routes—Copenhagen–Alesund, Copenhagen–Edinburgh, and Copenhagen–Thessaloniki—will operate for the full summer schedule rather than just peak months. According to data from Cirium cited by SAS, Copenhagen–Thessaloniki will run at least three times per week from May 5 while Copenhagen–Edinburgh is set for up to six weekly departures from May.

SAS is increasing frequencies on more than thirty existing routes as well. Over twenty-five connections from Copenhagen—including Berlin, Brussels, Budapest, Krakow, Prague, Seoul, Tallinn, and Tokyo—will see more departures. Stockholm gains extra flights to Brussels, Dublin, Paris and Vaasa; Oslo gets additional services to Brussels, Dublin and Reykjavik.

For winter 2025/26 out of Copenhagen Airport starting October this year—the airline plans six new destinations with higher frequencies on key routes plus continuation of over twenty popular summer services into winter months. Seat capacity during winter is projected to grow by forty percent with improved connectivity across Scandinavia and Europe up seventy-five percent.

New year-round destinations include Vienna with six weekly flights as well as Tel Aviv served three times per week on Tuesdays Thursdays Sundays. Seasonal additions are Marrakech (twice weekly), Madeira (once weekly), Fuerteventura (once weekly) all operating Saturdays—and Kittila (twice weekly on Tuesdays/Saturdays). Twenty-two summer routes—including transatlantic links like Toronto or Seoul plus European cities such as Budapest Madrid Venice Lisbon Krakow Wroclaw—will continue through winter.
