On Friday (September 12, 2025), SAS announced the launch of their inaugural flight between Copenhagen and Seoul, marking the first-ever nonstop service between Scandinavia and South Korea.  The route will now operate four times weekly during fall, and three times weekly for the winter 2025/26 season.  Based on strong demand, SAS has already increased capacity on the route by 50 percent for next summer, with up to six weekly flights from June 2026.  The new route will be operated with an Airbus A350, with the capacity for approximately 300 passengers.  


In Friday’s announcement, SAS’ President & CEO, Anko van der Werff, said,


“This is an exciting day for SAS and our passengers.  With our inaugural flight to Seoul, we are not only responding to strong customer demand but also strengthening the ties between Scandinavia and one of Asia’s most vibrant hubs.  Seoul is a global center of culture, innovation, and business, and we are proud to add it to our growing intercontinental network.”


Including the new service to Seoul, SAS now offers 14 intercontinental destinations from Copenhagen, connecting travelers to more than 100 destinations across Europe.  Seoul’s Incheon International Airport (ICN) is one of the largest and busiest airports in the world, handling 70 million passengers and nearly 3 million tons of freight in 2024.


Founded in 1946, SAS is the leading airline in Scandinavia, with main hubs in Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm, and flying to 135 destinations across Europe, the U.S. and Asia.  Each year, SAS serves over 25 million passengers and transports 60,000 tons of cargo, all facilitated by a passionate team of more than 10,000 colleagues. The company aims to be a driving force in sustainable aviation and in the transition towards net zero emissions by 2050.  SAS also offers ground handling services, technical maintenance and air cargo services.  SAS officially joined the global SkyTeam airline alliance in September 2024, and together with their partner airlines offers a wide network worldwide.  On July 4, 2025, the Air France-KLM Group announced their intention to take a majority ownership stake in SAS, further expanding one of Europe’s leading aviation groups.
