SAS will launch its most extensive summer schedule to date in 2026, adding nine new routes, six new destinations, and significantly increasing seat capacity and frequencies across Europe, North America, and Asia. The expansion underscores Copenhagen’s role as Scandinavia’s global hub while strengthening connectivity from Stockholm and Oslo as well.
From March 2026, SAS will boost capacity from Copenhagen by 20%, creating 50% more connecting opportunities. The programme combines high-frequency business routes with new leisure destinations, offering travellers greater flexibility and access than ever before.
Several seasonal routes, including Copenhagen–Ålesund, Edinburgh, and Thessaloniki, will now operate for the full summer season. More than 30 existing routes will see additional frequencies, with over 25 from Copenhagen alone. Stockholm will gain more services to Brussels, Dublin, Paris, and Vaasa, while Oslo will see added flights to Brussels, Dublin, and Reykjavik.
Nine new routes will debut in summer 2026, including long-haul service from Copenhagen to Mumbai (June 2, five times weekly) and expanded European connectivity with new links to Istanbul, Riga, Luxembourg, Bordeaux, and Marseille. In Sweden, SAS will strengthen regional access: from March 29, Stockholm Arlanda–Madrid will operate twice weekly, while from June 22, Visby–Copenhagen will run three times weekly during the peak summer season. Oslo will also see a new route to Hamburg starting March 30, twice weekly.
SAS highlighted its strong operational performance as a foundation for this growth. The airline has repeatedly been ranked the world’s most punctual carrier over the past year, reflecting its commitment to reliability and precision. With two additional Airbus A350s joining the fleet, SAS says it is well-positioned to meet rising demand.
“This is the largest summer program in SAS’ history,” said Anko van der Werff, President & CEO of SAS. “We are growing with more destinations, more frequencies, and more capacity than ever before. This expansion strengthens Copenhagen as Scandinavia’s global hub, while also adding important new options from Stockholm and Visby, offering our customers unmatched choice and flexibility.”
The summer 2026 programme will be available for booking from September 22, 2025.
