SAS to operate 180 European routes in spring/summer 2021

SAS reported (09-Feb-2021) plans to operate 180 routes from Scandinavia to Europe during spring/summer 2021, assuming travel restrictions have eased. New routes planned include Stockholm-Barcelona, Oslo-Faro and Copenhagen-Larnaca services. The carrier reported that demand for air travel is increasing in the medium term, especially to warmer destinations, and will introduce more departures to several destinations around the Mediterranean. It added that it is hopeful that travel restrictions will ease as vaccination rates increase and spread of infection in society goes down. SAS will increase capacity on domestic routes accordingly, as well as within the Nordic and to major cities in Northern Europe, to meet an increase in demand for leisure as well as business travel.
