SAS will launch three new direct routes to the US next year.
The Scandinavian carrier will fly daily between Stockholm and Los Angeles from March 14, and three-times weekly between both Oslo and Miami and Copenhagen and Miami from autumn 2016.
The Los Angeles service will operate under the SK933 flight code, departing Stockholm Arlanda at 0950 and arriving at LAX at 1215, with return leg SK934 leaving LAX at 1415 and landing in Stockholm at 1000 the next day.
The Copenhagen-Miami service will see outbound flight SK953 depart Copenhagen on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 0930 and arrive in Miami at 1350. Return service SK954 will leave Miami on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays at 1550 and land in Copenhagen at 0710 the next day.
The Oslo-Miami service will see outbound flight SK955 will depart Oslo on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays at 0935 and arrive in Miami at 1350. Return service SK956 will leave Miami on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 1550 and land in Copenhagen at 0705 the next day.
Rickard Gustafson, president and CEO of SAS, said: "These new direct routes together with the renewal of our long-haul fleet and our broad network, mean we have far and away the strongest offer between Scandinavia and the US."
SAS will also launch a new Stockholm-Hong Kong service next month (see news, January 29), and will operate daily Stockholm-Chicago and Copenhagen-Shanghai this winter (see news, July 7).
