SAS Airlines Announces Exciting New Routes for 2026

SAS Scandinavian Airlines has announced three new long-haul flights from Copenhagen for the Winter 2026/27 season, targeting high-demand spots in the Middle East and Thailand.

Overview of New Routes

The best launches are from SAS's main Scandinavian hub to Dubai World Central (DWC), Phuket (HKT), and Krabi (KBV). Dubai is SAS's first stop in the UAE in 15 years. From October 25, 2026, to March 27, 2027, the airline will fly there every day with Airbus A320neo planes. Airbus A350s fly to Phuket and Krabi.

Details about the strategic expansion

SAS is helping this expansion by adding two more A350 planes, which will increase A350 operations by 34% and capacity on routes like Boston (+70%), San Francisco (+20%), and Asian hubs like Seoul (+50%) and Tokyo (+40%). Executives talk about how Dubai is a great place to do business, how Phuket and Krabi have beautiful beaches, and how Copenhagen is becoming a more important global hub. The changes are a response to the growing demand for winter travel while keeping SAS's top rankings for on-time arrivals.
