As of October
28, 2001, all Scandinavian Airlines flights to London from Copenhagen
will land at Heathrow, the most central and largest airport in Greater
London only 24 km from central London. The change means that SAS will
concentrate all flights from Copenhagen at London-Heathrow.
The Stavanger-London SAS route will continue to use Stansted Airport.
In order to handle the major demand for frequent flights between
Copenhagen and London, SAS has already increased capacity between
Copenhagen and London-Heathrow, and there are now seven departures per
day.
SAS will use its new Airbus 321 on the Copenhagen – London-Heathrow
route, and this will further increase the seat capacity since each
aircraft can carry 184 passengers.
“Heathrow is the preferred London airport by our customers, and it is
natural that we concentrate all our resources there. With the upcoming
capacity increase, SAS will continue to offer its customers a broad
travel program and attractive prices,” says Vagn Sørensen, Executive
Vice President, SAS Group. |
