With SAS now firmly in the SkyTeam Alliance, it has announced its first new long-haul route – and for those who love North America, you’ll love this – with Seattle joining the network.
With Seattle added to the network, SAS will offer nonstop flights to 11 North American gateways, further enhancing its global connectivity from Copenhagen Airport, serving as a key international gateway to and from Scandinavia and Northern Europe.
The airline will offer a Copenhagen-Seattle route, which will start operations on 21st May 2025. This will operate five times a week, with timing to maximize connectivity with the rest of the SAS Network,
Planned operations are as follows:
SK937 DEPART CPH 13:00 ARRIVE SEA 13:05 SK9398 DEPART SEA 16:00 ARRIVE 10:30+1 Commences 21st May 2025 Operates five days a week Booked Equipment: SAS Airbus A350-900
SAS will operate an Airbus A350-900 on this route, configured with 40 Business Class, 32 Premium Economy and 228 Economy Class seats

Anko van der Werff, President & CEO of SAS said:
“We are excited to expand our North American network with Seattle. The route from Copenhagen will provide more travel options for our customers and strengthen the connection between Scandinavia and the Pacific Northwest, a region of growing economic importance with deep Scandinavian roots”,
“This new addition to our network further expands our global reach and underscores our commitment to providing travelers with more direct route options. Seattle has been a highly requested destination by our customers, and we are excited to respond to their needs by launching this route. Additionally, Seattle’s growing cargo operations make this expansion even more strategically valuable”,
Growing North America
North America continues to be of interest to European and Nordic carriers, as they seek to expand revenue and business ventures. With five flights a week, it’s a big commitment for the airline which will be looking to grow both its passenger and cargo on this route.
It’ll be interesting to see if SAS can sustain the route – after all, this route was suspended some time ago. With conditions a little more favourable, SAS has chosen to return.
We’ll have to see if it’s a long term return.
