Yesterday saw SAS’ very first flight from Stockholm to Los Angeles take off - becoming the Scandinavian airline’s 8th route to the US.

In late March, SAS will also launch services between Copenhagen and Boston, followed by routes to Miami from both Copenhagen and Oslo in September. This is not the first time SAS has been to California - the first route between Scandinavia and Los Angeles launched back in 1954 by SAS, who, in doing so, became the first airline ever to cross the Polar area. “It means a lot to be able to re-introduce our historical route to Los Angeles. With the startup of the route Stockholm – Los Angeles with daily departures, we are once again connecting two highly dynamic and innovative regions in the world,” said Rickard Gustafson, President and CEO of SAS. “SAS probably has the best Business class offered between Europe and the US at the moment. Our customers are very satisfied with everything from the seats and the entertainment to the WiFi and the design, and our new service concept has received excellent reviews. We are happy to see our investments paying off in such a great way, which also has been demonstrated by SAS recently being elected to Best Intercont airline at the travel business’ equivalent to the Oscars,” he continued. SAS currently operates long-haul routes from Scandinavia to New York, Washington DC, Chicago, San Francisco, Beijing, Shanghai, Tokyo and Hong Kong, with Boston and Miami starting this year.
