SAS to Transfer Stockholm - Hong Kong Flights to Copenhagen in October

SAS has confirmed that its flights from Stockholm, Arlanda to Hong Kong, will be moved to Copenhagen, Kastrup starting from the winter program in October.

The airline says that since it launched the route three years ago, it has faced challenges when it comes to profitability on the Stockholm-Hong Kong route. However, thanks to a new airport slot, SAS will now be able to offer a more attractive timetable with in demand night flights to and from Hong Kong.

“We look forward to being able to offer our customers a better timetable with attractive night flights to and from Kastrup. Obviously, it’s sad that we’re moving from Stockholm, but in this case, Copenhagen offers better long-term opportunities that will enable us to further improve the SAS customer experience,” said Karl Sandlund, EVP Commercial, at SAS.

SAS will fly from Copenhagen to Hong Kong five days a week.

“SAS has a strong presence at all the major Scandinavian airports. It is important for us to review all our routes on a continuous basis in order to be able to maximize the benefits for both passengers and our profitability,” Sandlund added.

Tickets can now be booked on the new route with the first flight scheduled to leave on 28 October 2018. Passengers that have already booked a flight from Stockholm will be rebooked via Copenhagen to Hong Kong.
