SAS to Launch Airbus A321LR Flights to Boston in September 2020

The first of three new Airbus A321LRs will enter service with SAS on 18 September 2020.

The Airbus A321LR is a narrow-body, single aisle aircraft, specially configured to fly longer distances than a standard A321neo.

The aircraft has enough range to reach the northeast of the USA, but it can also reach destinations in Canada, the Middle East and India from Scandinavia.

SAS has configured the aircraft with 22 seats in Business Class, 12 in Plus and 123 seats in Go.

The seats in SAS Business are fully flat seat beds and there are different mood light scenarios in the cabins, as well as Hi-speed Wi-Fi.

Every seat is equipped with IFE screens, PC-power and/or Hi-power USB.

The reduced noise level inside the cabin will further enhance the travel experience onboard.

“This is an entirely new aircraft type for SAS, which is incredibly well suited to the Scandinavian market and emerging travel patterns to and from the region,” said Karl Sandlund, EVP & Chief Commercial Officer. “It gives SAS an opportunity to offer travelers more intercontinental routes, fewer stopovers and shorter travel times to and from Scandinavia. The new aircraft is equipped with a service concept at par with the rest of SAS’ long-haul fleet, offering passengers all the benefits, level of comfort and choices of our traveling classes.”

The first route the A321LR will operate on will be Copenhagen-Boston. Sales will start on 20 November 2019.
