SAS expands flights to the United States

Scandinavian carrier SAS will start three new direct routes to the USA next year, with daily flights between Stockholm and Los Angeles from March 14, and three-times weekly flights between Oslo and Miami, and Copenhagen and Miami, from autumn 2016.

Additionally, SAS will launch a new Stockholm-Hong Kong service next month and will operate daily Stockholm-Chicago and Copenhagen-Shanghai flights this winter.

President and CEO of SAS, Rickard Gustafson, said: “These new direct routes together with the renewal of our long-haul fleet and our broad network, mean we have far and away the strongest offer between Scandinavia and the US.”

It appears part of a continuing trend of Scandanavian carriers expanding their route maps. More on this story from businesstraveler.com at this link.
