Cornwall welcomes sixth airline

Saturday, 21 Jun, 2019 0

Scandinavia has become Cornwall Airport Newquay’s (CAN) latest continent connection with the launch of a seasonal service to Copenhagen with SAS.

Commencing its twice-weekly operation to the capital city, the Star Alliance member directly links Cornwall’s gateway to the Nordic nation for the first time.

CAN managing director Al Titterington said: "Our new route to the Danish capital was originally due to start next week but, due to overwhelming demand, SAS not only bought the launch forward a week, the carrier also added more capacity.

"With 25% more seats on offer than initially planned, we look forward to developing further with our newest airline partner, and building on the instant success of Copenhagen."

As SAS becomes the sixth airline to offer scheduled flights from the Airport, the new link with Copenhagen joins CAN’s direct European services to Alicante, Cork, Dublin, Düsseldorf, Faro and Stuttgart this summer.

The new service adds 2,880 seats from the airport during the peak season.
