The flights will kick off on May 21, 2025 between Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and Copenhagen Airport. From there, Scandinavian says fliers will be able to hop on a connection to 39 cities in Europe.
“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”, says Anko van der Werff, President & CEO of SAS.
Flights will take off five times a week throughout the summer season.
The inaugural flight path from the airline was established nearly 60 years ago. It’s return comes 15 years after operations between Seattle and Copenhagen were halted.
Representatives with SAS cite growing demand for travel to the United States. Seattle will be one of their 11 nonstop destinations in North America.
