On Friday (June 13, 2025), SAS announced a new codeshare agreement with fellow SkyTeam partner Vietnam Airlines.  The partnership has been designed to enhance travel convenience, expand connectivity, and to offer customers the ability to earn and redeem SAS EuroBonus or LotusMiles across both networks.  Ticket sales for codeshare itineraries are expected to be available from early July 2025, and will allow for single ticket travel between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City and Copenhagen, Stockholm and Oslo. 


In Friday’s announcement, SAS’ Chief Commercial Officer, Paul Verhagen, said,


“We are pleased to expand our network to Vietnam through Vietnam Airlines, a trusted partner internationally recognized for its safety and on-time performance.  As the world’s most punctual airline, we take pride in offering our passengers reliable and seamless connections—now extended to Vietnam through this partnership.  This agreement is a testament to the value of the SkyTeam alliance in delivering global connectivity and shared benefits for frequent flyers.  It also opens up exciting opportunities for our passengers to experience Vietnam’s vibrant culture, natural beauty, and exceptional cuisine.”

“We are delighted to partner with Scandinavian Airlines, one of the leading national carriers in the Nordic region, renowned for its extensive European route network and services that reflect the distinct essence of Scandinavian culture.  As both airlines are members of the SkyTeam alliance, this provides a solid foundation for implementing an effective codeshare agreement, offering passengers more destination choices and enhanced benefits for members of each airlines frequent flyer program.  At the same time, this partnership marks an important step forward in promoting economic, trade, and cultural exchanges between Vietnam and the Scandinavian region.”
