SAS raises London-Denmark frequency

Saturday, 18 Jan, 2008 0

SAS is to add an extra daily flight between Heathrow and Copenhagen during the summer.

The airline will operate seven flights a day to the Danish capital between March 30 and October 24.

The expansion of the Heathrow service compliments SAS’s existing twice daily link from London City Airport to Copenhagen. It will bring the airline’s services from London to Copenhagen to nearly 60 flights a week.

Uk and Ireland general manager Lars-Ove Filipson said: “We are delighted that SAS has been able to secure an additional slot from London Heathrow Airport.

“In recent years it has become increasingly difficult for airlines to add additional Heathrow routes to their networks, and so typically service expansion depends on the introduction of larger aircraft which SAS has also implemented on its services to Scandinavia.

“The addition of the new service now also takes the number of SAS flights out of London airports to Copenhagen to 50% more than our competitor BA.”

SAS operates a one-way fare structure allowing passengers to mix and match the airports they travel from. They can fly out from London City and return via Heathrow according to which airport is most convenient to their home or office.
